It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

that only happens 33.3% of the time.

I only picked it once out of 12 tries.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Lies, damned lies, and statistics.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I think I get the idea, but if I remember Let's Make a Deal, the problem needs a new name. Because Monty didn't give you the choice of a car, a goat, or a goat. It was more like, a car, a decent cash prize that isn't enough to buy a car, and a goat. So once Monty shows you the goat, you know you have at least some cash.

Or am I being quibbly today?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Unless the goat has eaten the cash....

I didn't try the game. Is what Monty shows you selected at random, or does he pick something to try to trip you up?

There are two goats and a car. He always shows you a goat.

I don't think it changes anything, because you're still more likely to have chosen the non-car.

Oh. OK.

Is that the way it works on the actual TV game show too? (since they have only one goat...)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

But, on the show, there aren't two goats, right? I am so confused.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I always wanted to win the goat when I was a kid. Now I realize that if I won the car I could sell it and probably buy several goats.
