	This is sort of an experiment, so please comment for any suggestions. I'm trying to find a new format for these minefield quizzes. Also, please comment if you have any ideas to whether or not I could expand this quiz. Or you can comment that this is a terrible quiz, and I shouldn't make any others like it.

	I like the idea but the instructions were a little hard to understand and the overall was a little sloppily executed. 4 orbs

	@Saints09: Thank you for your honesty. I'll try to make the instructions clearer. Thanks again for your comment.

	@All: Just so you know, this quiz is based off of the Monty Hall Problem. For more information about it you can go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem

	I'd reorganize the riddle somewhat: vos Savant's solution only works if the mine in Box 3 is revealed after your initial choice is made. And of course this should only work 2/3 of the time, although I'm not sure how you'd program that into Sporcle. Hah.

	I remember the Monty Hall Problem from The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. Which was an awesome book. I couldn't remember how it worked, though, so I just picked a box at random. Didn't quite understand the quiz, to be honest, leppyfresh, but I love that you are trying to find creative ways to toy with the minefield format and knowing you are talented enough to do so, encourage you to continue.

	@All: Thank you for your comments. They are much appreciated. @druhutch: Thank you for the encouragement. I'll do my best to create a different minefield format and hopefully it will be much better than this one.

	I'm glad I know the Monty Hall theory. I tried to explain it to my brother last week, inc. multiple demonstrations and he still didn't accept it. Great idea though. Love it. But to remember, there is still A chance (that's pretty significant) that sticking wins.

	I honestly didn't care for/understand it, and just chose a box at random and got it right. Perhaps if it was longer it would be more challenging. Then again, I don't like/understand Minesweeper much anyway, so maybe it's just not my type of quiz. So, overall, while I emphasize/understand that this is just my personal preferences, I'd prefer to just have the riddles in question format.
