Let's examine a problem that we could math our way out of, but assume we don't know how. We'll lean on our programming to teach us what we don't know. The Monty Hall problem comes from an old game show called Let's Make a Deal, hosted by Monty Hall. In the show, Monty would show three closed doors to a contestant and explain that one holds a car while the other two hold goats. The contestant then chose a door. After this first pick, Monty would reveal one unchosen door that was hiding a goat. T

The Nintendo 64 was a fantastic console, home to generation-defining games such as Super Mario 64 and GoldenEye 007.

‘Kirby Air Riders’ on Switch 2 Makes a Better Case for the GameCube Than Nintendo Ever Did

“I have no idea what is happening right now.” I sigh several variations of that phrase in the hour I spend playing through a sliver of Nintendo’s upcoming Switch 2 exclusive Kirby Air Riders. I’m tired after a full day’s work—somewhere between fried and manic—but the racing game, which director Masahiro Sakurai quipped in his Tuesday Nintendo Direct was “basically Mario Kart,” is akin to being thrown hurtling down the mouth of a kaleidoscope at 200 miles per hour.

Bitcoin sinks to $115,000 after hitting its newest record, as macro concerns spark liquidation wave

These compact powerhouses cook quickly while using far less energy than a traditional oven, making them a perfect heat wave solution.

‘Witchboard’ Summons a Fun but Uneven Remake of a Cult Classic

Released in 1986, the original Witchboard‘s cultural impact lingers mostly because it stars Tawny Kitaen—known more for being a music-video vixen than an actor. But the stunt casting works: her character’s Ouija board curiosity turns tragic when an evil spirit takes a shine to her, possibly lured in by her perfectly teased hair. The movie delivers more cheese than frights, but you can easily see why it became a cult classic. Less clear is why Witchboard needed a remake, especially one that only
