#MontyHallProblem

I spent part of Saturday writing a simulator of the #MontyHallProblem to prove to myself that switching doors increases odds of winning to 2/3. That's the assertion I've seen made and the simulator proves it. For the life of me though I don't get _why_.

In the second round, you're effectively choosing out of two potential winners, so why are the odds not 1/2?
