There are two goats and a car. He always shows you a goat.
Oh. OK.
Is that the way it works on the actual TV game show too? (since they have only one goat...)
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

But, on the show, there aren't two goats, right? I am so confused.
am I being quibbly today?
a little quibbly, but this is b.org
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.

No. In fact, there's an old article in the NYTimes about trying this game with the real Monty Hall on hand, and him pointing out that he, as the host, wasn't even obligated to offer people the opportunity to switch.
It's a theoretical problem.
Let's do the Traveling Salesman next!
No! Prisoners' Dilemma!
Missionaries and Cannibals!
Missionaries and cannibals I know.
I can never, EVER figure out Prisoner's Dilemma.
t edit And Traveling Salesman confuzzles me completely.
Traveling Salesman is no fun at all AFAIC.
