This never made intuitive sense to me until I heard it rephrased this way:

In front of you are 1002 doors. You pick a door, and then Monty Hall opens 1000 doors to reveal goats. You have the option to pick the remaining door or stick with your original choice. Which should you do?

I've always thought the combining doors way of explaining this made the most sense - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem#Combining_do...
