trying to explain it using the x number of doors theory didn't help matters, it actually made it worse cause all she saw was me being unwilling to see her side of the argument.
no, she's not stupid, either - her iq's higher then mine!
maybe this post is better off going in tilted relationships, huh?

I've heard that when Monty Hall's three doors made their debut, there was intense debate
within the community of Statistics professors consulted to analyze the show's game.
