There's a difference between ignorance and not believing.
I simply fail to understand how the chances are not 50/50

Marylin vos Savant has the highest IQ in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. She says that the answer is 2/3.

Loads of people wrote into her, saying she was wrong, including mathmaticians and scientists. Using Maths, here's the answer.

Let the doors be called X, Y and Z.

Let Cx be the event that the car is behind door X and so on.

Let Hx be the event that the host opens door X and so on.

Supposing that you choose door X, the possibility that you win a car if you then switch your choice is given by this formula:

P(Hz^Cy) + P(Hy^Cz)
= P(Cy).P(Hz|Cy) + P(Cz).P(Hy|Cz)
= (1/3.1) + (1/3.1) = 2/3
