this is a logic problem that seems intuitive - but isn't. You are given 3 doors and told there is a prize behind one. You pick. Before you open your door, the host opens one of the remaining....leaving two closed doors: the one you pick and the unopened one you didn't pick. Then the host asks "want to switch your door for the one that's left." The right answer is....always to accept the switch.
