Argh. I accidentally entered the ladies' bathroom just now. Wtf.
Monash has got freakin' loads of bathrooms. Each floor has at least 2 pairs of them and they are located side-by-side. The confusing thing is that the order of the bathrooms are not similar. On the ground floor the gents' are usually on the left, and the ladies' on the right. So are the ones near my Macro and CB tutes. Mana tau the one i went on the fourth floor had the ladies' bathroom on the left instead.
So i flung open the left door and went in. Then i realized there was something strange with the bathroom colours, and i noticed that the tiles were pink. Quickly i threw the door open again, wanting to duck out ASAP but ended up staring at this girl who looked mighty taken aback.
"I think i entered the wrong bathroom."
"This is the girl's.... toilet right?" She gave me this one-kind sorta quizzical look.
"Yes. Yes."
"Are you sure..." And she walked in.
Geeez. At least it was a secluded bathroom and i didn't fly in after downing laxatives a la Paul Finch of American Pie. Idiot bathroom designers. I wasn't the first who kena. Matt also accidentally barged into a left-side ladies' bathroom before.

Been reading on the fascinating Monty Hall problem.
Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. 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?
Interesting, as the solution isn't 50-50, but rather 2/3.
