Not to be a stickler but I think the teaser should be: "Put me in your bucket and I will lighten your load, and a poorer man ye'll be." This teaser is attributed to Benjamin Franklin.

An easy one. You move the "stem" and the right side so that the glass is upside down and the olive is beside the stem. Wish I could draw it!

pbaldy, you pointed out an error that I had inadvertantly introduced - that of the missing punctuation. Therefore I must eat crow. Kryst51 is correct and I must humbly beg her forgiveness.

Good try and could possibly be correct in an alternate universe other than the one I exist in. :cool:

Actually This is wrong, but I would not say that emphatically or empirically.

I like the way you think. It is wrong, but I like the way you think.

Here is a simple one. How many errors are in the following? "Their are four misteaks in this sentence"

Well, THAT sure cleared it up... NOT! :D:confused::confused::confused::confused:

No, he broke even on day 1, he made $100.00 on day 2 so the total profit was $100.00.

Sorry, no prize behind door #2 for you... yet...

In that case if the door is revealed BEFORE you make your choice you might as well stay with your original choice since you will still have a 50% chance of being right. If it is revealed AFTER then when you are given the opportunity to switch, you still have a 33% chance of being right WHEN you...

But nothing in the scenario given guarantees that one has the prize. The only stipulation in the scenario was that one of THREE doors had the prize, you choose a door, the host gives you a chance to switch to one of the other two. That does not remove the possibility that the door you orginally...

Where this logic fails is that now BOTH chances could be wrong since Door 1.may have had the prize. So, you switch to door 2, here are the chances: Door 2 has the prize, Door 3 does not Door 2 has no prize, Door 3 has the prize Door 2 has no prize, Door 3 has no prize So, your odds of...

I have heard this one for years and seen the mathematical "proof" but still have a very difficult time following the logic, which seems to say that if you switch and they remove your original door and then he gives you a final chance to choose the door you did not choose the second iteration...

Yes, it quite a boolean problem, isn't it?
