OT: Wrong?

[Kevin McLauchlan <kevinmcl -at- magma -dot- ca>]

Not wanting to be the sort who never admits he's wrong, I admit 
that I might very well be wrong about the doors puzzle.  
As the center of the resistance, I feel I owe everybody that.

However, the light came from a cow-orker who approached 
the problem from the set of final outcomes and worked backward.

In general, I would have expected more cohesive and 
convincing explanations from a pack of technical writers.  :-)

Bonnie, however, appears to have provided the most succinct 
summary.

I guess that technical writers might have been able to give 
more persuasive explanations if somebody had been 
able to describe the physics involved. 

If anybody wishes to try, please do it offline. I'll be glad to 
present the most successful attempt to the list in a single 
post.  No doubt, Schroedinger's cat will need to figure in 
the explanation.

Thanks for your time, all who contributed.
