Haha yes, that's exactly what I just scribbled down on my notepad Big Grin

I agree with Jenny, if you don't believe the maths, go try it out.

If you can code, run a simulation 1000 times with you always switching, and see how many times you win.

If I switch, regardless of what door opens, I win if the goat was behind 2 or 3 initially.

If I don't switch, I win if it was behind 1 initially.
