Why does the probability “lock in” and not change if you remove a variable but doubles for the other one?
I read it multiple times and it still doesnt make any logical sense to me.

It’s easier to understand if you imagine that there’s a **billion doors**, and only one prize.
You pick a door randomly. There’s a billion doors, so you doubt you have any real chance of winning.
The host **shows you what’s behind every door except your door (all 999,999,998 or them)**, and the last door. No prizes behind any other one. The host knows where the prize is. Under this scenario, it’s pretty intuitive that the prize is almost certainly in the other door.
