Re:Do the math: too much calculus? (2012) on Wednesday October 19, 2016 @09:42PM (#12749290)
I prefer thinking about the 100 doors case.

You are shown 100 doors 1 ... 100. Imagine you pick 1 door.

Of the other 99 doors Monty tells you which 98 of them don't have the prize.

He now asks if you want to switch to the 99th door that he didn't cancel out.

Intuitively that seems to make much more sense to me.
