Bayesian Monte Carlo of Let's Make a Deal

This code illustrates Bayes' Theorem in action on the Let's Make a Deal problem (aka Monty Hall Problem), which several authors have used to illustrate Bayes' Theorem. (It's easy to search the internet for further explanation.) Run with the audit option to audit up to the first 100 games. Running without audit is faster and can simulate a couple billion games.
