It has been bothering that
Monty knows. Each door is supposed to have an equal chance of
being eliminated/picked and this messes this up.
Usually things are picked with random number chart,put in
a hat, one of those lottery machines, something to give them all
an equal chance. With Monty knowing it, its hard for me to even
apply these probabilities rules.
