I'll take door #3...
The Monty Hall Problem gets its name from the TV game show, "Let's Make A Deal," hosted by Monty Hall. The scenario is such: you are given the opportunity to select one closed door of three, behind one of which there is a prize. The other two doors hide "goats" (or some other such "non-prize"), or nothing at all. Once you have made your selection, Monty Hall will open one of the remaining doors, revealing that it does not contain the prize. He then asks you if you would like to switch your selection to the other unopened door, or stay with your original choice. Here is the problem: Does it matter if you switch?[Photo taken on St. Mark's Place betw 1st Ave. & Ave. A on Saturday, July 22nd.]

Is Monty Hall dead or alive?
Monty Hall: Alive. Must have made a deal with the devil.
I guess so. I hope a long life isn't all he got in return for his soul. I think he also got to keep all the costumes the contestants wore on the show.
He's in a chapel somewhere in Beverly Hills praying to the Lord to forgive him.
In a chicken suit.
