No clue on the creatures

Box Riddle:
an Egg?

And I know the door one so I'll let someone else answer it

an egg is the answer to box riddle.

anyone have any ideas about the other two?

In the game show riddle the guy should switch because it would give him a 2/3 chance of winning, and here's why:

assume the car is in door #3 in all situations

you choose #1 he gets rid of #2 you switch to #3 - YOU WIN
you choose #2 he gets rid of #1 you switch to #3 - YOU WIN
You choose #3 he gets rid of door 1 or 2 you switch - YOU LOSE

so his best bet is to switch to door #2

It is, in fact, better to switch, as you would have a 2/3 chance of winning.
Intuition says it would be 50/50, but mathematics says otherwise.



Its rather complicated. This is known as the Monty Hall problem, which you can do yourself here.
See, the % of winners and losers isnt 50/50, its 2/3 and 1/3.

yeah good, people are starting to grasp the answer(my mom and I had a long fight about the answer, and she still doesn't believe me)

anyone have any ideas on these two riddles:
Little Creatures Riddle:

We are little creatures;
all of us have different features.
One of us in glass is set;
one of us you'll find in jet.
Another you may see in tin,
and the fourth is boxed within .
If the fifth you should pursue,
it can never fly from you.
What are we?

here's one more:

MISSING DOLLAR RIDDLE:

Three guys went to a motel and rented three different rooms. Each paid $10. Thats a sum of $30. So they went to their rooms. The motel clerk thought he overcharged them, so he gave the butler $5 to divide between the three of them. The butler did not know how to divide it so he put $2 in his pocket and gave each of them a dollar back. In their eyes, they paid $9 each.
So: sum=30
3(# of men) x $9(amount paid by each) = $27(total)
then you have that $27 + $2 (butler took) = $29


Where exactly did the other dollar go?
