I'm not sure how many 24 viewers have studied Monty Hall closely.

So. In the Monty Hall scenario, you have three cards, yadayadayada. All have 1/3 chance of being the right one. You pick one, another is revealed, and you should then switch your card choice.
But.
Does this work on bombs as well?
Say, if you don't know which wire to cut, which is ALWAYS the case. Should you then decide that you think one is the bad wire, cut another one, and then switch your plan and cut the one you originally thought was a bad wire?
And if so, why does that never come up in the kind of shows where there is bomb-defusing going on?

Though they may have seen "Let's Make a Deal" once or twice. *returns to playing Plinko with Barkers Beauties*
