The Monty Hall Paradox

I've been enjoying using Claude, with its new Opus 5.5 model, for writing code. We have come so far already from my early 2023 post, and we are now firmly in the era where software will be written in tandem with an LLM. I haven't used it for any large projects yet, and I'm not sure it's suited for that yet. But for now, it can greatly accelerate my output, allowing me to tackle projects I've long wanted to work on. An example of that is the "The Monty Hall Paradox".

 

If you're not familiar with the idea, it's probably best to play a few games and get a feel for it, then read the Wikipedia article linked above.

Play some Monty Hall!

The game shows three doors, and allows you to choose one. After one door is opened, it then gives you the option to switch doors.

Once the premise is clear, it's fun to see it in action with ten doors!
