The Monty Hall Problem

Have you tried opening/closing windows?

You eye your window thoughtfully. It might be worth opening just to see if this Problem is exclusive to doors or not. Then again, can you really risk the existence of another Creature?

Quickly Open and Close the bathroom door, in case you have to go later

You don't know for certain whether every opened door becomes permanently safe once used, or whether with each usage you roll the dice afresh and risk spawning a new creature. It is difficult to say when you are working from a limited pool of information such as which you have at your disposal.

Consult your faithful companion: Woulge.

You wish you had a beloved companion that you could call Woulge. As it is you only have mysterious Creatures in your House. What are you doing?? How will you deal with them??

>you got a screwdriver stored away in easy access that doesn't require opening a new door or coming at the behest of a Creature?

The tool kit is in the shed, which means at least two doors and the possibility of coming face to face with a Creature.

Open the door to the hallway

So... if you have understood your Problem correctly this door should be currently the only safe door to open.



Even so you breathe a sigh of relief when you see the hallway beyond is empty.

Well then there's no issue! Open the most recent door and skedaddle down the hallway and shut the library door. Then shuffle on down to the gallery and home theater and shut the door between the home theater and the game room (or the gallery and home theater if a creature has meandered into there by then.) After that, open the front door and scurry to phone an exterminator.

Consider the humble Creature. A potentially infinite supply of meat or friendship, depending on its disposition. You must ascertain their affability! Head out the recent door and into the Library through another. It is time to meet your new best friend. Or your maker.

You've made your mind up. You're definitely either going to bravely (or foolishly )confront the Creatures directly or barricade them in like a coward and leave the task up to qualified professionals. One of the two options.



Only as you are on your way there- A Creature! The one from the library? Was it seeking you out?

How will you handle this encounter?
