Discourse on the Monty Hall Problem:

• The following sites all pose the problem and discuss the solution and the conflict the solution has with our intuition.

Simulations of the Monty Hall Problem:

• Three Door Puzzle
  A great site! The problem is meticulously posed, the graphics are excellent and it is fun to "play". The is a full explaination of the solution and nice generalization of the problem for n doors.

• Education, Mathematics, Fun, Monty Hall Dilemma
  Another great site. Details of the "Ask Marilyn" controversy and a cool simulation.

• Computer Generated Random Numbers
  A thorough discussion on computer generated random numbers. Follow the link for the Monty Hall simulation (which uses random numbers).

• Three Door Introduction
  Another simulation, this one is a little slow running but worth the visit.

• Cheap Monty Hall
  Not as sophisticated as the others but it is worth looking at.

Programs to Run Your Own Simulations:

• Monty Hall Program for the TI-82
  A program that allows you to run the Monty Hall simulation on the TI-82 calculator.
