Monty's Gauntlet – Do You *Really* Understand the Monty Hall Problem?
A variant of the Monty Hall problem (the 7th one on this quiz) went semi-viral a couple months ago. For me at least, I may be able to walk through the reasoning of the original problem, and I may be able to convince myself it's correct, but it's very hard to build an intuition for why it's correct that feels truly sound. So I thought it'd be interesting to have a quiz to contort the original problem in as many ways as possible to challenge my understanding and intuition. Try it out!

I learned about the Monty Hall Problem recently. I thought it was so interesting it inspired me to make this small interactive website about it.

I decided I wanted to roll my own AB testing app for Django (https://github.com/crobertsbmw/RobertsAB) when I was finished, I came across this: http://stevehanov.ca/blog/index.php?id=132 Which is a very convincing article on why AB testing sucks and with a few extra lines, you can improve your algorithm to select the best test so you never go back and update your code (yeah right.) I then thought, how many tests does this thing have to run to truly figure out which is best? I made 4 tests with probability of success equalling 1/2, 1/4,…

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
