well , I still dont think that is accurate


let us say

A /

B /

C /


I chose C /


>> B / gets eliminated

so now it is down to A / and C /


you are now saying because it wasn't B / and I choose C / automatically the best option and most winning opportunity will always be A / ?

that just doenst make sense to me


you will have a 50 % chance of it being true and a 50% chance of it not being true


luck is an important factor in such a guessing game and should always be considered when calculating your odds


I cant understand how in ONCE case I would be better of chosing A / because it isn't B / and I choose C / initially


it would be if you dont count in luck , but who is the fool who does'nt count in luck in a guessing game ? ?
