Technically, you still can determine what is behind the door and therefore win, because this is a universe where doors cant be opened and not "a universe where doors cannot be destroyed or circumvented by cutting a hole in the adjacent wall"

Here's an interesting question: is this a universe where there is some metaphysical entity that doesn't allow any object that fulfills the role of a door to be opened, or is it a universe where random chance causes every door to become jammed or otherwise malfunction after being installed?

If we take Everett's Many Worlds Interpretation to its extreme, is there a universe where doors are useless because the stars align in such a way that doors just coincidentally jam for any number of reasons the moment they're installed?

Is there a universe where every coin flip ends up being tails? Is there a religion based around this observation? What if we exist in such a universe? What thing do we take for granted which would be considered a random occurrence in another universe?

Ok, I'll take a guess: Morning glory.

There's no good reason for getting a non-stimulated erection at the same time that you also needs to empty your bladder after a good nights sleep.
