Statistics is great too. particularly the fact that it is so unintuitive.

A classic: You are a on game show, there are 3 doors. Behind one door is a car. Behind the other two doors are goats. You want to win the car (just to be clear!)

You pick a door. The host opens one of the other two doors to show a goat. You are then asked if you want to change your mind. Should you ?

I love that the correct answer is that you should, as you have a statistically better chance of winning if you _always_ change your mind.
