Predictably, this has already gone several pages. Here's the deal:

Let's assume there are n doors. You pick one, the chance your choice is correct is 1/n.

Now Monty proceeds to open all the doors you didn't pick except for one. Monty knows which one has the car, and will never open that door.

Trust Monty's advice.
