I think the people, who are not willing to understand this simple fact, want to keep that type of games on tv, participate there and swap in the end! They want to win the car!
Hello After seeing this problem explained more clearly on another website I see now that there is 2/3 probability of success on the 2nd choice. It was explained like this. "Imagine someone asking you to draw a card from a deck of cards. The chance of drawing an ace is 4/52. Now if the person removes 1/3 of the cards (17) that are not aces your chances are now 4/35 which are much better than 4/52. You have less possibilities of failures, but the same possiblities of successes.
