The Monty Hall Problem is about what someone’s chances of winning a car if you had to pick the door that it is behind out of three doors. Behind two of the doors there is a goat and in the third door is the car. If you pick a door‚ the game show host opens another door to show a goat‚ should you swap doors or stick with the original door that you picked? The first thing that came to my mind is that it would not make a difference if you swap doors or not. You would still have a 50/50 chance of having

lecture hall problems The best years of our lives are supposed to be in college. Crazy parties‚ your own life and space‚ and very little work.

In this particular scene‚ the villagers along with a knight‚ come up with an argument as to why the woman is a witch. The town’s people say that she is a witch and should be burned. The knight uses his logic

In the tale Monty Python The Quest For The Holy Grail there are many themes found that are commonly known in medieval literature. Though in this tale you will find these themes to be a bit different from that of what you would expect.

Why? At first blush‚ I was tempted to launch into a vigorous effort to learn why Monty Python is so side splittingly
Premium Comedy
Monty Python does an excellent job of mocking Medieval Literature‚ and criticizing it through various plot structures. We know that Monty Python is and satire and not a parody because parodies are not looking to destroy the artwork.
