    This little program shows that in a game where there are three boxes and only one contains a prize, if one is picked and someone who knows where the prize is then opens an empty box and gives you the opportunity to keep the box you first chose or change it for the unopened box you are always at an advantage if you change your option. In the first choice you had a one in three chance of getting the prize, now you haave a one in two chance. Try it and see.
