Interesting. I was explained this question the exact same way (100 doors) some years ago and it was instantly intuitive to me. Maybe it's how every brain works differently.

I understand that it makes sense intuitively, but how do you justify it to yourself mathematically? As far as I can tell there is nothing in the original formulation that explains why it would scale that way.
