Wait.... what?

Original choice 1 out of 3. 33%

After the first door is opened you are given another choice. Two doors. Your choice is out of two. Should it not now be 50/50? How can it be 66% if you only have two doors to choose from?

The first 1 out of 3 choice is now irrelevant is it not?
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.
