Hall clarified that things worked a bit differently than the scenario presented by the Parade reader in vos Savant’s column.

This is partly why I think it's hard for some to comprehend "the Monty Hall problem". If you've ever seen Let's Make a Deal, you'll notice the big deal is set up very close to, but still materially different than how "the Monty Hall" problem is set up.

I wonder if people who have never seen the show can understand the math quicker...
