be sure to check
Monty always pick losing door


it's pretty easy when you think about it psili:

let's say you pick A....the only way you will win by not switching is if it's really behind A....but if it's behind B, Monty will show door C...you switch to B, you win!...if it's behind door C...monty will open door B, you switch to C, you win

So assuming you pick door A...and you don't switch, you will win 1/3 of the time (if it's behind door A)...if you pick A and you SWITCH...you will win, whater it's behind B or C... (2/3 of the time)
I can't believe you're still trying to explain it to them...
