Shelley already mentioned it, but I'd like to point it out more 
clearly. I'll give you a new variant of the riddle that points out an 
important detail that can easily be misunderstood, leading to 
different results.

-----

There are three doors, one hides a car. You pick a door. The host 
opens another and there's nothing. You choose between the two closed 
doors and get what's behind it. Should you stay or switch?

-----

Variant 1: The host knows what's behind the doors and when he opens 
one, he deliberately picks an empty one.

Variant 2: The host does *not* know what's behind the doors and when 
he randomly opens one, it just happens to be empty.

-----

Variant 1 is the original riddle with 2/3 probability getting the car 
if you switch. Variant 2 is the new one I propose. What's your answer 
for it?

Cheers!
Stefan
