User:Martin Hogbin/MHP - An open challenge

This is a challenge concerning the Monty Hall problem that I throw open to anyone interested in responding. The question, for the moment, is on talk page. Please respond there.

This is vos Savant's description of the question posed by Whitaker.

''Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?''

Suppose she had said this:

''Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three objects hidden from view, say behind curtains. The objects are a car and two goats, say goat 1 and goat 2. You pick an object without knowing what it is and the host, who knows where the objects are hidden reveals one of the goats, say goat 1. He then says to you, "Do you wish to change your choice to the object that I have not revealed?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?''

Is that the same question?

Please answer on the talk page.
