You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another 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 advantage to switch your choice?
Grace and Peace,
-CH | Already solved in post #11 | Sorry, I missed it. You are off a bit - you have a 2/3 chance of winning if you switch as Rev. Buchanan pointed out.

I stand humbly corrected.
