What I love about this is that ANYONE can prove out for themselves that switching wins 2/3 of the time by using nothing more than three pieces of paper to represent the three doors and following the rules of the problem and playing the game themselves. No math involved, just play the game.

Yet, people STILL insist it's 50/50. Bless their hearts.

You need two people. One that knows which piece of paper has the car, and which has the goats.

Otherwise this won't work.
