Didn't expect to see this here! It's the Monty Hall problem, Where you pick one door out of three (two of them wrong, one right), then the host opens one incorrect door and gives you the change to swap to the other unopened door or stick to your choice. If you swap, as Rexir explained, you have a 2/3 chance of not getting raped by a hellhound - since the chance of you picking a hellhound initially was 2/3. I'd then go on about how you can generalise it for N doors-

midway through, a feisty Sphinx jumps me. I forgot I answered the question correctly. This can't end well...
