  1.  @TampaCEO  I literally explained this to second semester students and teachers explain it to school students. It's unintuitive to most people, but you don't have to be a genius to understand it. Really all it needs is to understand that the show host knows the position of the goats and acts accordingly.

  2. Maybe this is simpler to understand: There is ten doors with varying money prices. You pick one at random. Then the show hosts ranks the remaining 9 in order of the price. Obviously you'd switch to the highest rank. The key insight is that you gain information on all of the doors that weren't initially picked.

  3.  @philip5940  All you're demonstrating is that if you're stupid enough you can discard arbitrary much information.
