Or did the devil, knowing he was a mathematician and bound to know the Monty Hall problem only give him the choice to swap because he knew that he had chosen correctly?<br /><br />My thinking is that the devil is very conniving and the man shouldn't swap because swapping will be demolition.<br /><br />But wait, maybe the devil knew that the man would come to the logical conclusion that the devil was tricking him, the devil would have counted on it, so he can clearly not choose to keep the same door.<br /><br />...<br /><br />Just wait til I get going!
