ok

so

when you pick your door, there is a 1/3 chance you are right and a 2/3 chance you are wrong. monty hall opens a door and it's the goatman. there's still a 2/3 chance your original pick was wrong, but that is now concentrated on the one other door.

it's easier to think about it if there are 1000 doors. If you pick one and the remaining 998 doors get opened except for one other, The chances of you picking the correct door first are one in 1000. but there is a pretty good chance that the other remaining door is the correct one. so you always switch

this is by far the best explanation of it I've eber seen, and now I comprehend it as opposed to just knowing that's how the math works

The host reveals a dickbutt behind one of the doors that you didn't choose. He then asks if you would like to switch. You look over, and he is now a dickbutt. "yes i will switch" you say, gayly, but behind your new door is just yospos

this is like entry level math poo poo they even did it on mythbusters

people who have a problem with monty hall are probably the same ones who think .9 repeating is less than one or who think the plane can't take off from the conveyor belt

i would set this problem up for kids in my 7th grade class and ask them what they thought the answer was and when they were wrong I'd say WRONG and tell them they were stupid. if i was feeling benevolent i'd reframe the question in terms of 10,000 doors but usually i'd just sit there smugly.

i was a popular child

well it's very easy for me to understand because i've understood it for 2 decades so when i try to think about the problem there is nothing to understand. but i vaguely remember being kind of confused the first time i heard it.
