What are some famous puzzles and their solutions?

Can you tell me about some famous puzzles?

Sure! One famous puzzle is the Monty Hall problem, which involves a game show scenario with three doors.

What's the Monty Hall problem about?

In the Monty Hall problem, you choose one of three doors, behind one is a car and behind the others are goats. After you choose, the host opens one of the other doors, revealing a goat. You then have the option to stick with your original choice or switch to the other unopened door. The counterintuitive solution is that you should always switch, as it gives you a 2/3 chance of winning the car.

Are there any other interesting puzzles?

Absolutely! Another classic is the 'Two Envelopes Problem,' where you have to decide whether to keep your current envelope or switch to another.

What’s the solution to the Two Envelopes Problem?

The solution is quite paradoxical. It suggests that you should always switch, but it leads to a logical inconsistency. It's a great topic for discussion!
