The Monty Hall Show The 1970’s game show presents an interesting probability exercise. Monty would show three doors to a contestant. One of the doors had a car behind it. The other two doors each had a pig. Previous Index Next

The Monty Hall Show  The contestant picks one of the doors.  Monty would open one of the doors with a pig.  Then, he would ask… “Would you like to switch to door #2?” Will your odds of winning improve if you switch? I pick door # 3 ? Previous Index Next

The Monty Hall Show  When you first picked a door, your chance of winning was 1 out of 3.  After Monty showed the door with the pig, your chance of winning was 1 out of 2. Try the Simulation! Previous Index Next

Lemonade Logic Try using logical reasoning to solve this challenge: Max is selling lemonade. He has an 8-gallon jug full of lemonade, an empty 3-gallon jug and an empty 5-gallon jug. Jean would like to buy exactly four gallons of lemonade. How can Max measure exactly four gallons of lemonade, using only these jugs? Solution Previous Index Next From

Lemonade Logic Solution  Max can fill the 3-gallon jug with lemonade, and then pour that lemonade into the 5-gallon jug.  Then he can fill the 3-gallon jug from the 8-gallon jug again, and pour that lemonade into the 5-gallon jug until it is full.  Next, he must pour the lemonade from the 5-gallon jug back into the 8-gallon jug.  Then he can pour the lemonade from the 3-gallon jug into the 5- gallon jug.  Finally, he fills up the 3-gallon jug from the 8-gallon jug again. He will then have exactly four gallons of lemonade left in the 8- gallon jug. Previous Index Next

The Crossing Problem  Solve the problem presented in the second panel of the comic strip above.  Explain how to get all three animals across the river safely! Previous Index Next Solution

Crossing Problem Solution  First, take the fox over and drop him off.  Then row back and get one of the chickens.  Take the chicken over and drop it off and pick up the fox.  Take the fox back, drop him off, and pick up the other chicken.  Take the chicken over.  Row back and pick up the fox.
