Nice explanation. Small critique: I think this page would be better if the animations could be played manually rather than on a continuous loop which is quite distracting. Also, maybe add in a bit where the user can play the game themselves to see the logic work out.

Something like this was useful when I was first learning about the Monty Hall problem.

There's no need for the animations at all. Besides not letting the reader work through the problem at her own pace, the animations hide the previous steps.
