Ok everyone. I have a bit of a teaser for you. Try not to cheat, we can argue about the correct answer in a couple of days but for now give me your answers and tell me why.
Here goes...
Ok I have three cups and a £50 note. The money is under one of the cups. The game is simple. You have to guess which cup it is under. Cup 1, cup 2 or cup 3. Make your choice. After you choose a cup I then turn over one of the other 2 cups, showing it to be empty.
Now there are 2 cups left, the one you picked and one you didn't. Under one of the cups is £50.Now you can either stick with the one you chose or change your mind.
This is the test. Should you stick or swap to give yourself the best chance of winning?
