The Monty Hall Trap

Suppose that Monty Hall (on TV's Let's Make a Deal) asks you to choose between three doors: #1, #2, and #3. Behind a random door is a new Rolls Royce. Behind each of the other two doors is a goat. Let's assume that you would prefer a Rolls Royce to a goat. You choose a door. Now, Monty, who knows which door hides the Rolls Royce, shows you a goat behind one of the two doors that you did not choose. He then gives you the opportunity to change your choice. Assume that Monty always does this, regardless of your guess. Should you change your choice?

ACC

Yay! I am an Asian Culture Club Co-Head!

Some present ideas:

- Once a semester we would hold an afterschool or recess gathering of people who want to participate in fun activity: Play 30-40 asian songs, players figure out the language, whichever group at the end has the most points will win some prize, e.g. I-Tunes gift card

- Keep Flushing and Chinatown trips.

- Asian Artist (singer, musicians) of the Month on Board, Put Bios of them.

- Weekly Asian Holidays posted on Board

- Sarah would help with the Charity

- Bakesales: Include not only our famous dumpling stash, but other things we don't usually bring in -> more variety
e.g. Green Bean Pastries, Cha Xiao Shu, Lychee Jellies?, more stuff

-List of Asian Countries on Board

- Drawing contests to draw things that are Asian related? POst winner's drawing on board -> monthly.

. . .More to come!

Cryptoquote

I found this website that will entertain my want to decipher codes. I'm sure Katie will enjoy this too.

It's called Cryptoquote. They have a daily one and many in archives.

Fanfic Update #2

I've uploaded my second fanfiction. It's really short and I've only gotten one review but I'm very grateful for that one person who reviewed. I just wish I knew who my audience was. Or at least they could help me by critiquing it or something. Oh well.

. . . I should be writing my essay. - This essay has been taking the time that I leave to write my other story. That's why I haven't updated.

Pg. 65

Go to page 65 and pick out the first sentence of each book that's near you.

"You can call it choking if you like."
"And we had a talk about you."
"Outside the Fifth Avenue Hotel I decided to get a cab, pausing only to watch Boss Platt emerge from a carriage and vanish inside, his stiff, unnatural movements doing nothing to reassure the onlooker that he was, in fact, alive."
"I was bound for Baltimore to spend the holidays with my mother's father and his wife."
' Negi, take the kids outside and keep them busy until is over.'
"After the first week, he taught from his swivel chair, wheeling back and forth to the balckboard and never standing up, explaining that this was because of his blood-sugar level."
"He has at least five minutes before he needs to be in his next class - which he may or may not go to - so he scans the crowd."

-And Then There Were None
- Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You
-The Alienist
-Old School
-When I Was Puerto Rican
- The Virgin Suicides
- A Hope in the Unseen
