Initial pick: 1/3 chance of winner
Question: did you pick the correct door?
- If correct, both remaining doors are losers, eg. {loser, loser}.
- Otherwise, the remaining doors are {loser, winner}.
And the loser must be revealed according to the game rules.
If you don't change your answer, you're stuck with the initial chance: 1/3
If you change your answer: (1/3) * 0 + (2/3) * 1 = 2/3
- (1/3) you initially picked correct, then change to a guaranteed loser.
- (2/3) you initially picked incorrect, then change to a guaranteed winner.
