The Monty Hall Trap
“Suppose you are on a game show, and you are given the choice
of three doors: Behind one door is a Rolls Royce car and behind
the others, goats. Let's assume that you would prefer a Rolls Royce
to a goat. You pick a door, say No.1, and the host, who knows
what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No.3, which has
a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?
Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?”

Famous Logic Puzzles
A king wants an advisor and comes to ask the 3 wisest sages.
He blindfolds them and put the hats on their head. Afterwards,
the king takes off their blindfolds. He tells them that
their hat is either blue or white. He tells them that whoever
can deduce the color of their hat will be his next advisor.
Also he tells them that at least one of the sages will be
wearing a blue hat. The sages can all see each other's hats
