I GOT IT! You loose a couple, You win lots!!!!

The first time around I noticed when I tried to predict what door the $5 was behind I was just loosing Money. So then I stopped trying
And noticed I was quickly winning all my money back. So my brain figured out a pattern that I was not
conscious of. Then I made a conscious effort to figure out what my subconscious new that my conscious
did not, And. . . . . . I figured out that The $5 will never appear in the same place it has just been.
But if the computer knows you know this, it will change the rule and keep giving you Frowns where
ever you pick. How does the computer know that you know the pattern? By how fast you are moving your mouse
to the right answers. So what you have to do is go quite slowly.

[How to get to $40 in 10 plays]
after your first loss or win the $5 will never be in the same place
twice. So remember where the $5 was on the last turn, and you choose that door to cancel it out and
then the computer will give you an X door. And the $5 will be behind the last door standing (remembering the
$5 will never be in the same place twice) so you switch doors on the last move and collect your money. (Remember move slowly)
Now this only works FIVE times, then the computer will attempt to trick you and make you think
you did not figure it out. So it will give you a blue frown if you keep trying to use that strategy after the FIFTH
win. So what you do is after the FIFTH win, you will get the Blue-Meany! Remember the blue face won't be behind the same door twice
only after a winning streak. So you will pick the same door the X was last (making the computer think you don't know the pattern)
then you pick the door the blue face was last, and collect your money.

NOW THIS IS THE COOL PART......... The computer can tell what you know by how fast you move the cursor to click the buttons.
So pace your self, (try counting to "five-one thousand" between each move and move the cursor slowly) and
this strategy will work like Gangbusters. That is how I got to $40 in 10 plays.
