Fun Mathy Type Riddles

[Edwardo Piet]

I will try my best to explain it:

When you are shown a goat you know you won't switch to that goat. You are asked if you want to switch the other other door. That other door either is the car or it's the other goat. That's a 1/2 chance. But if you stay on the car you are right 1/3 times because there are two other goats.  So abstractly staying on the car is like allowing yourself to risk getting a third goat but switching is like avoiding that goat.

The way that makes it easiest for me is to think like this: If I stay on the car I will be right 1 in 3 times... but if it's NOT the car (which is 2 out of 3 times) then switching will DEFINITELY be the car.

There's a 1 in 3 chance that the current door is the car. You know one of the doors isn't the car. And you also know that you won't switch to that door. So if the current door is not the car (which is a 2 in 3 chance) then the other door is definitely the car.

I hope some of the things I have said is helpful

But I thought we knew we were on a goat... Is the damn door open or closed? lol Are we saying the last third is the option to stay where we are?

No we don't know if we're on a goat or a car. One other door is opened and revealed to be a goat. We are asked if we want to switch to the third and final door or stay on the first door.
