@boomzilla said:The problem, as commonly stated, uses three doors.Suppose you're on a web forum, and you're given the choice of three threads: behind one thread is an idiot; behind the others, trolls. You pick a thread, say No. 1, and the moderator, who knows who's behind the threads, opens another thread, say No. 3, which has a troll. He then says to you, "Do you want to reply in thread No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?
That really depends on whether you prefer arguing with idiots or trolls (assuming you can tell the difference and there is actually a difference to tell).

Hint: what differentiates these three doors from the fire-exit, or Monty Hall's dressing room door, for example?
The fact that the problem description strongly implies (I would say "says" but you would argue that it doesn't say that and then I would have to argue that any other interpretation wouldn't be considered a "fair" game in the context of a game show and then the argument would shift into whether game shows actually are "fair" and, while that might be more amusing than the current discussion, it would be a whole other bag of WTF) that those three doors have a 1 in 3 chance of having a car behind them and you only get the option of picking one of those three anyway.
