you must pick one. you have no control over if you picked the right one or not out of the first three. the odds are changed to 50% that you pick the right one out of the two.

switching or not does nothing to increase chances.

LOL you are FUCKING WRONG MAN!!!!!!!!

read patiently and try, just try, to understand

you got 3 boxes, you have to choose the right one
the chances are 33%

let's say you chose the wrong one

when there are 2 boxes left, you can switch
in the beginnig you had 33% change of being right; if you switch now, you have 66% of being right;
you also had 66% of being wrong; if you change now, you have only 33% of being wrong;

sorry if my explanation is not clear enough, i can't exphasize it more!
