    There is a goat behind one door and a car behind the other. That is a 50 50.
    I'll have to play a separate game for you where you don't change your mind.

      What has happened before makes no difference as far as I can see.
      Dont try and explain it, I have a blind spot here. You will do well if you can make me understand it.
      Sorry, going to try an explain anyway.

      What happened before does matter. This isn't the same as rolling a dice, when what happened previously has no effect on what happens next. Because going down the route of picking a goat, the host will eliminate the other goat. So by changing your selection you get the car. If you pick the car first, yes it is 50/50.

        It's the dodgy behavior of the quiz master!

        Would he have opened a door revealing a goat if he knew you had the car?

        Did he even know that the door he was about to open had a goat behind it?

            Which means that you will swap to door 1 (because I revealed door 2 to be a goat)

                And Door1 is a CAR (you can check this from the hidden text in my first post)

                      It's a used Aygo with a rubber doll in the passenger seat and a rusted brompton in the back. Can I swap it for a goat?
