One of my favourite problems, because it just seems sooooo counter-intuitive. However, as I found out, it seems much more obvious to me if you consider it with 100 doors:

Now 98 doors are opened, and you're given the chance to switch to the other one. Now it suddenly seems very clear that you should switch.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
