Brain Teaser

Sasha, by way of Bender, gave me a good problem that I think you could use some unproductive time at work thinking about.

A game show presents a contestant with 3 doors. Behind one of the doors is a shiny new car. Behind the other 2 are an alternative means of transportation, donkeys.
The host asks the contestant to choose one of the 3 doors. The host then opens one of the doors, that the contestant did not choose, with a donkey behind it. The contestant is then asked if he/she would like to switch their choice of the 2 remaining doors, or stay with the original door.

What would you do as the contestant?
1. Stay
2. Switch
3. It does not matter
And why?

If you know the answer, please wait a few days for people to thing about it before posting the solution. And if you don’t know the answer, then don’t Google It. It’s more fun and time consuming that way. Good luck!
