Or there are 2 possibilities and then you introduce a 3rd door that is never correct?

Yes that one. Similar to the one you did with 100 doors, just in opposite direction.

Hang on, that's not a decreasing trend. 1/√4 is not smaller, but larger than 1/4...?

Great. Can you give me example of decreasing trend slower than that function curve?, where summation doesn't give finite value? A simple example please, I am not math scholar.

In this example, there were 100 choices in the beginning, and later you reduced to 2 choices. Clearly an advantage. Does the same apply to the 3 door problem?

Let's take this question in another angle. Instead of 3, there are only 2 doors. I am to choose one out of 2, which has a prize. After I choose one, you show me a third door which is empty. Now, should I change my option?

I: 27

You: The number is either 27 or 44. Do you want to change your choice?

I: why would I?

The same reason we use ship for a cargo and car for shipping.

That's what Buddhas have been saying!

So the resolution lies in the secret that a decreasing trend up to infinity adds up to a finite value. This is well explained by Gabriel's horn area and volume paradox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZOi9HH5ueU

No. No. You choose to be ignorant.

No. Moneyory fine should not be a form of punishment. I am for old fashioned style, an extreme example is to call the CEO, make him dance around the EU naked and then make him collect the shoes while returning home.
