Bitcoin Game Show Time
You’re on a game show with 3 cold wallets:
-One has 1 BTC
-Two are empty
You pick Wallet A.
The host opens Wallet B…it’s empty.
Now he asks:
Do you want to switch to Wallet C? Or stay with Wallet A?
Drop your answer and your reasoning below.
No googling or AI. I wanna see how your mind works.
Good job
Keep A
I had a 1in 3 chance
Now i have a 1 in 2 chance
Better odds
Well actually you have a 2/3 chance now so you have a 66% chance. Higher than 50% yeah?!
Just went through this with some buddies. Pretty cool.
1 BTC
Wallet B Empty 🙅♂️
Wallet A is unknown
Wallet C is unknown
If i can check wallet A answer is clear ✨
If i cant check A
Chance is 50/50 🤣
And i will stay with A if 50/50
Yes, I can see that.
I don't know where they got the idea that if you take x and then go to y, your chances go up to 66%, wtf. Maybe I don’t get it.
I would just chose B bcs I like that letter more 🤗
I make a deal with the contestant who goes after me. Whoever picks the full wallet splits half of the winnings with the other person. Everyone wins! 😬
u switch
an important part of the monty hall problem you left out is that the host has to pick an empty wallet. he isn’t picking a wallet at random.
if you blow up the scale from 3 wallets to 1000 it’s obvious.
u pick one, host opens 998 empty wallets, do u stay or switch?
obvious to switch there.
principles are the same with only 3 wallets
I'm familiar with the original answer, but wonder, you present it as if the host opened a random wallet, instead of purposely opening an empty one. I wonder if that changes the logic behind this riddle, since there is a chance he opened the filled wallet 🤔 however my intuition says no since the riddle takes off from the same point as the original.
🫡
Punch him in the face, take both and run 😂
For me it is easy, if he asked it is because he is loosing the game, so keep A.
If he don't ask it is because he know he have win.
