    This is the best explanation. Annoying voice though.
    Agree. It's important to recognise the game has two decision cycles, with more information presented for the second decision cycle. This information is what should prompt you to swap

    Knowing my luck, the goat will have eaten the GTI by the time I make up my mind which door to open.

    I saw a goat on the weekend that would eat a GTI. It had a supercharger sticking out of the bonnet, "Pontiac" on the back and a number plate "DINOSR".

    Depends if it was a South African mounting goat or a timid beast from the Black forest. Wolf in sheeps clothing them German ones...

    I seem to recall the relevant advertising slogan was "Here comes de Judge ! "

    I was always impressed with how such large, heavy lumbering beasts could be made to go so fast, just by bunging in an equally huge engine (but don't ask any awkward questions about braking ability, let alone cornering).

    For those young'uns who are wondering what the hell this is about, google "Pontiac GTO" (from the days when nearly all americans thought that it was their god-given right to burn as much cheap petrol as they liked).

    There was even a song about GTOs, by Ronnie and the Daytonas.

    So, Greg, you'd know what "3 deuces and a 4 speed" meant...

    Meanwhile, my son is 26 today.

    If I'm not mistaken, the "3 deuces" are known amongst the Mopar crowd as a "6 pack"
