The Monty Hall Problem 😨 (explained)

[zackdfilms]

This is an updated version of a video we uploaded last week. In the original version, we incorrectly made the information about the red wire independent of the person choosing the yellow wire.

In this new version, the bomb manufacturer is watching the whole thing on a security camera. The decision to reveal the red wire as incorrect depends on the initial choice of the yellow wire, making it a true analogy to the Monty Hall problem.

Pro Tip: Run as far away from the bomb as you can and avoid snipping any wires

When the manufacturer uses an advanced technique called LYING

[BS_BS_no_Mi]

1st - if manufacturer is telling the truth he can simply say the correct wire to cut off

2nd - if he is lying (because obviously he made the bomb to explode), you are done.

Take notice: this is only true if the manufacturer knew you were about to choose the yellow wire (this is called the Monty Hall problem). Otherwise, there is no statistical difference between the wires.

[DrowsyDanny]

So with this logic, if you instead intially chose blue, then it's better to switch to yellow.

“Imagine you’re trying to deactivate a bomb”
Yeah, No thanks.

You see, normally, in those texts, they would use this weird technique called lying.

My dumbass would have an existential crisis thinking its reverse psychology

[YiitBS-CR]

If the bomb manufacturer told me that red is danger, i would probably snip red

[unubun]

"Which means your chances are better if you switch to bl-" 💥

[MaxeTheSteelBallsPossessor]

no matter how many times i hear about this, i will never believe it

[Ouch.]

"lets go gambling!"
*Snips blue*
*Bomb detonates*
"Aww dang it!"

“Imagine you’re trying to defuse a bomb”
Then my imagination is far out the door

[benharbyessine]

Bomb manufacturer: hehe the red wire is actually the correct choice

[jellybeanfan]

“It was yellow”
Famous last words

[notdelusionalcowboysfan]

And then you snip blue and it blows up 💀
