Tried to find result, but had forgotten they were in Div 1. How can they win 9 at home but only 1 away?

Well, it takes unique talent to get an equaliser deep into injury time and still lose 3-1

Do you think she made the right decision to swap her box?

Interesting puzzle this...

Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors. Behind one door is a car, behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say number 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say number 3, which has a goat. He says to you, "Do you want to pick door number 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice of doors?

ummm nope arnt you 50/50 now? Depends if you like goats or cars too!

Hmm, I remember reading a Slkansky analysis of this situation. I think he said you should always switch and proved why mathematically. I trust Sklansky's maths so I'm switching but I couldn't understand the reasoning at the time and I can't remember where I read it....
