... or rather, any multiple of 111, which includes zero as a perfectly good solution.

PPS. The Parallel postulate is now taken to be the fifth axiom for Euclidean geometry. In other geometries, parallel lines may meet, or may not be unique, and so on.

none, its a womans job.

ot try this...your on a quiz show an d you have to select a prize behind one of 3 doors.
behind 1 door is a car.
behind the other 2 are 2 goats.

you pick a door and still dont know what your prize is and the quizmaster asks you if you want to swap.
what do you do and why?

It is irrelevant, in the way you have described this.

The step you have missed out is that after you choose your initial door, the quizmaster (who knows exactly where the car is) then opens one of the other two doors, showing you a goat.
