    The odds to win the car was 2/3 from the start, because it was guaranteed that you would be offered the switch.

      No, in both car examples, the chance is 1/2, unless you include the possibility that someone would select a visible goat. Once you eliminate previous options, you only select between the remaining choices (2).

      @hakancarlsson2881 i don't care what mental gymnastics you contort yourself with, and the very end you have a choice between 2 doors and one has a car, therefore you have a 1:2 odds. Period.
      The first choice had different odds (1:3 or 1:10) , but the second chance was NEVER greater than 1:2.
      A door you will not select because it has been revealed to have a goat does not transfer its count. If there are only 2 doors probability no longer includes 3 choices.

      @@youredumb7938 You are simply wrong. 🤷
      There's no gymnastics involved.
      You had 1/3 chance of picking the correct one. Correct?
      Which means you will just win 1/3 of the times. Right?
      Him opening a door doesn't change the fact that you can only win if you happened to pick correctly the first round. Which is 1/3.
      You can't magically be correct 50% when you pick from 3.
      You picked 1 out of 3. You win 1 of three.
      If you play it 3000 times you pick correctly 1000 times whether he opens a door or not.
      Correct?
      That leaves 2000 times to when you switch.
      You are basically choosing between the 1 door you picked or the 2 other doors.

      @hakancarlsson2881 no.
      That does NOT mean "2000 times if you switched".
      When there are 3 doors and 1 prize you have a 1:3 chance of being a winner.
      Once 1 door is removed as a choice, there are only 2 doors and 1 prize. Regardless of whether or not you change your selection (or not) your odds on the second round are 1:2.
      Your odds of being right IMPROVED from 33% to 50%.
