Back on May 4th of 2007, I wrote a piece entitled “Trust Your Brain?” in which I discussed a problem I called “The Three Box Problem”.
The Three Box problem has been around for awhile and I now know that it is better known as “The Monty Hall Problem”.
Over forty papers and news articles have been published over the years about this little logical conundrum and there’s a nice write up on it on Wikipedia that I didn’t know about when I wrote my original piece.
If you still ‘trust your brain‘ or if you like amazing little puzzles, I suggest you have a look.
