I must respectfully criticize the computer programs that several of my
colleagues on Cryonet have written. A simulation is no better than the
program it is written in, but I confess I didn't even try to find the bug in
these programs because I don't see the point in writing them in the first 
place. 

A computer in not needed, there are only 24 possibilities and I enumerated 
every one of them in my last post. In 12 cases you get the car if you stick 
with your original choice, in 12 cases you get the car if you change your 
choice, 50 - 50.  A truth table is as good a proof as anyone will ever see, 
and that pretty much settles the matter, at least as far as I'm concerned.
