1. You should switch. If contestants switch every time, one of two things happens: (a) With probability 2/3, the contestant picks a wrong door. Monty Hall shows the prize behind the other wrong door, and the contestant switches to the door hiding the car. (b) With probability 1/3, the contestant picks the right door, Monty Hall reveals either the donkey or the bananas, and the contestant switches to the other "zonk" prize. So, with probability 2/3, the "switch" strategy will elicit the car. This is one of the most famous (and widely-debated) probability problems of the past ten years.
