switch doors
1. You picked the first wrong door - so if you switch, you win
2. You picked the other wrong door - again, if you switch, you win
3. You picked the correct door - if you switch, you lose
Each of these cases are equally likely. So if you switch, there is a 2/3 chance that you will win (because there is a 2/3 chance that you are in one of the first two cases listed above), and a 1/3 chance you'll lose. So switching is a good idea.

There are 3 possibilities for the first door you picked:

1. You picked the first wrong door - so if you switch, you win
2. You picked the other wrong door - again, if you switch, you win
3. You picked the correct door - if you switch, you lose

See so he needs to switch
