____ made the wrong choice mathematically

Deshawn. This IS the Monty Hall Problem. You must switch. It was most likely that Deshawn would pick a Skull box at first, and therefore there is a 66.6% chance that the two he did not pick would have the Fire symbol. Therefore, since one of those two has the Skull symbol gone, we know there is a 66.6% chance of the one he switches to being Fire. That’s not 50/50 because of variable change. So thanks Survivor for rewarding people for not knowing basic math, and the whole community having to argue now.

Source: I have a degree in mathematics education, I promise it is in your best interest to switch even if it seems counterintuitive. Also check out this video for a better explanation https://youtu.be/7u6kFlWZOWg
