Quote -  OK.. Being a foreinger and not familiar with the quiz show.. Can someone, in small, easy words, explain to me why "switch" should be a better solution than to stay with the door chosen? For all I can see .. if door 1 is chosen, and door 3 is then revealed as hosting a goat, all we know is that the car is in EITHER Door 1 or Door 2 - giving it a 50/50 chance of each.

OR do I get the idea of the show wrong? IF the car is behind Door 1, is it then instantly revealed? The Wikipedia article didn't make that bit clear, only that the game ost - Monty Hall - would open a door that did NOT contain the car. 

There is one car, and two goats, each hidden behind a door. You would have to choose one of the three doors. The host then open one of the doors you did not choose, showing you a goat. After that you will be asked if you want to switch to the third door or if you keep your door which you've choosen in the first place. 

The show, in the US aired as "Let's make a deal" was running as "Geh' auf's Ganze" in Germany for a while. We did not have goats, we had the "Zonk", a big red furry puppet.
