door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you,
"Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your

When you pick door #1 you only have a 1/3 chance of
winning. But after you see that there is a goat behind
door #3, your chance of winning is 1/2, so I would change
doors and pick door #2. But I don't really know
why....It's just gambler's instinct with me.

After you know there is a goat behind door #3 and are given a chance to
guess again, there is a 50% chance the car is behind door #1 and a 50%
chance the car if behind door #2. Change your choice or not, you have a 50%
chance of being right.
