timbo, yes i have read the question wrong my fair share of times- heck, i even did it this time when i failed to acknowledge the role of the host and his function as intentionally revealing a certain failure first time round.

i've been asked to go home and try it with a deck of cards. okay- i will. one thousand times. 99% of which, i will only bother to deal with two cards. meh- i think it's a case of either we grab some table water crackers, some brie and some olives and a nice bottle of wine, all meet up somewhere and have a lovely monty hall dilemma discussion/picnic, or we all agree to disagree.

it's abit of a shame that this thing is coming to an end. im going to miss it.
