This adventure is based off of the Monty Hall problem. Having said that, if you haven't heard of the problem, I'd suggest going into the adventure without reading up on it too much.
Here's the basic premise: You have three doors to choose from - A, B, and C. One door has the Gold Star behind it, the other two have Chompers. Once you have chosen your door, one of the doors with a Chomper behind it will be opened.
You then have the choice to stick with the door you originally picked, or switch to another door. Here's the question: Which is the best option to take?
Unfortunately, this system as it's presented is static - the Chompers and Star will be behind the same doors every single time. Additionally, there's nothing set up to prevent you from selecting the door that's opened after you make your first choice. Basically, uh, don't do that.
So. Some questions for any of you who play this:
- 1) Which door did you pick? A, B, or C?
2) After the first Chomper door was opened, did you opt to switch doors, or stick with your original choice?
3) How many times did you lose, if any?
4) Out of those times, how often did you stay with your first choice? How often did you switch?
