I wouldn't care...... I like goats :3
-
thank you mythbusters
-
get an x-ray out.

i don't care. i stick with my answer. 33 1/3% is good enough for me. so what if the car was behind the 1st door? after he showed me the goat doesn't mean the car is going to magically jump from door 1 to door 3.
-
I would choose #3, because since there's a greater chance that the door I chose in the first place (door#1) contains a goat as there are 2 goats and one car, now the door #2 is a goat, so there's a bigger chance that door # 3 is car.

uhhhhhhhhhh....... oh look, a sandwhich *nom nom nom*
-
I would keep the goat...
-
Why should I care, the riddle never said I get to keep it!!!!
Besides, driving is harder AND a lot less fun AND more usual than having a goat....
-
don't change the answer because goats are cooler than cars
-
ok i know i have 66% but WHAT IS THE ANSWER?

Basically, the statistical chances change after the first guess, because Monty is giving you additional information.
Every single time, he will open a door with a goat after your first guess. That is telling you something that you didn't know before.
There is a 2/3 chance that your first guess will be a goat. If that is the case, Monty will show you where the other goat is, meaning that the remaining door must be hiding the car.
66% of the time, you would be better off changing your guess.
