Now is it just me or did anyone else think of the Monty Hall problem at this point? I just had this gut feeling when the red cat was proved to not be the one that Brenda should change her mind and go for the yellow.


Except that Noel didn't know where the happy cat was and Brenda chose to have the red one revealed first.

True but he also (sort of) offered her the chance to change her mind, so conciously or not he was echoing the MHP.

I think it was more of making certain of the 2nd colour she chose.

It seems we can't go through Easter without an extremely low (in this case literally worthless) win, and as soon as she won the £5,000 from the box, I feared a Daimon-style gamble with the cats. Although, in fact, it was a lot more generous than his offer and far more worth going for, unlucky to hit the 33% chance but I'm sure most people would take it on with 2 cats to choose (but almost certainly not with just one).

Winning nothing must be absolutely crushing for her, and for some reason it seems to have a far greater psychological impact on a player than winning a low blue. I suppose it creates that extra 'humiliation' (for want of a better word) in that you've failed to win the full amount range of the board, and that the game in a sense feels 'void'. Shame as she really got into character for the theme and seemed to be enjoying the experience up to that point. Truly unlucky.

0p.

How strange that the same namesake can win (or not win maybe!) the same amount twice? :o

Not the way to end on what was 'fairly' reasonable Easter Specials.

Phil.

An anti-Donna game. This could influence the players for some time to come.


It didn't influence Ramesh at least! :)
