Set up 3 playing cards. An ace and two jokers. Whatever. Have them choose a "door", then you reveal a joker and ask if they'd like to stay or switch.
You'll quickly realize that they're forcing your hand most of the time.
- criddell 9y agoIt clicked with me when somebody explained it with playing cards but they used the entire deck. Spread out an entire deck of 52 cards, face down, on a table. Guess which card is the ace of spades. Monty then flips over to reveal 50 of the remaining 51 cards (none of which are the ace of spades) and you are given a choice to stick with your original guess or switch to the other face-down card.
