>The host literally always opens a goat door.
The problem doesn't say that. Certainly, if the host DID always open the goat door, the answer would be 1/3, but that's not the problem as constructed.

What is your hangup?

>In every possible iteration, the host ALWAYS opens a goat door after you do your first selection.
Except this iteration, clearly, as that's not the case.

>That is the Monty Hall problem.
Well, no, in the Monty Hall problem, the host is specified as always opening the goat door to get to the counterintuitive 1/3rd result.

The person I'm talking with-much like you apparently-thinks this is the Monty Hall problem, but it isn't. There's no mention of host behavior beyond a goat door being opened by the host. You have to do that to establish the Monty Hall problem.

>Read the fucking Wikipedia page.
I'm reading the fucking problem. You should try it.

>the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat.
Find me the fucking always.

My condolences on your inability to fucking read.
