In the Monty Hall problem the host always knows where the prize is. It’s a mind blowing problem because usually a person’s intuition is wrong. For almost everyone they need to carefully analyze the problem in order to understand why their intuition is wrong. There are lots of such examples in math.

Most peoples’ intuition is that the host wouldn’t always offer the choice unless it’s more likely that you’ve selected the correct door.
