		C. Mage,



	Actually, it doesn't matter whether Monty knows there was a car
behind the curtain he picked or not.  You never get to fifty-fifty.  The
premise constrains the possibilities that you are considering.  The
premise demands that ultimately you are going to open two of three
curtains and Monty never gets the car.  The trick is that the problem
precludes some of the possibilities in a two-person, three-curtain
random pick (specifically, that you and Monty pick the same curtain on
the first guess). 



	
	peace


p.s. - I play bridge, what is the "restricted choice" principle?  Respond
on or off list if you like.
