Problem #26 MEDIUM
The Three-Door Game
Google Apple Math Logic
Problem Statement
A game show host stands before three closed doors. A grand prize sits behind one door; nothing of value is behind the other two. A contestant picks door number 1. The host — who always knows where the prize is — swings open one of the other two doors and reveals an empty space. He then offers the contestant a choice: keep door 1 or switch to the remaining closed door. Does switching improve the contestant's odds of winning the prize?
