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!

This is the first iteration of a short game I’m making that tries to interactively explain some of my favorite math questions / ideas. My goal is mostly to get the player curious and not necessarily to explain absolutely everything. There were a lot of fun technical parts to building this: - For implementation reasons, it’s much easier if the lines all have integer intersection points with each other. To do this, when a new line is added I “cheat” by rounding intersections to integers and then splitting the old lines at the intersection into new linds (with potentially different slopes)…

This game is all about making math a little more fun – users just drag and drop numbers to fill in the blanks and move on to the next level if they get it right. Let me know if face any issues or have any suggestions! :)
