If so here is a question which should relieve their
boredom. Consider the following:

During an episode of the Monty Hall show, a $21,000 car is
driven on stage. His assistant comes out with a
glass case containing three keys one of which
starts the car. The assistant goes into the audience
and randomly gives two audience members two of
the keys. The remaing key is given to Monty who knows
who has the winning key. Monty then purposely picks
one of the audience members with a losing key (randomly if both
have losing keys), takes it and shows them that it does not start the
car. He then turns to the remaining audience member and asks
if they want to switch keys with Monty, telling them that if the key
they end up with starts the car they will win the car and
he will give them $7000 if they switch. Should they switch?
