Most people know the Monty Hall Problem.
There's lots of ways to express how the math works and that changing your answer improves your odds.
But it doesn't change a niggling practical bit.
If the prize is, indeed, behind Door Number 1 and you picked door number 1...
Changing your answer means you lose.
Improving your odds doesn't guarantee a win.
Try this at a party. You will see some really pissed off people who lose despite doubling their odds.
