You choose one door, let's call it A. but you don't open it. The host—let's call him Monty—chooses another, say B, and opens it; there is a goat there.
Now it's your turn to open a door. Monty asks if you want to stick with your original choice A, or if you want to change and open the third door, C.
So, should you go for A or C? And why?
