 # Monty Hall
 In this puzzle, a contestant in a game-show gets to choose between 3 doors.
 Behind one of the doors, a prize (the "car") is hidden, the other two doors do not win (the "goat").
 The host of the show lets the contestant make an initial choice, then opens one of the doors (not the one the contestant has chosen) and then offers the contestant the choice to switch doors.
 Is it beneficial to switch the doors?
