Here is a link to the Sean Carroll's post on SBP and how it is connected to quantum mechanics (it has a very nice diagram of the problem): http://www.preposterousuniverse.com/blog/2014/07/28/quantum-sleeping-beauty-and-the-multiverse/ The Monty Hall Problem (the issue is pretty much settled today [you should change your door]), but do you agree with the solution?
