### Comment:
Yeah, the odds are 1/2 for both cases, unlike the monte hall problem where the odds for the starting door is 1/3 and the odds for the new door is 2/3

 The key in the monte hall problem is that the host gave additional information, he knew that the door he opened was losing. In this case cases are randomly opened, thus no outside information is given

### REPLY:
Agreed 100%. Not monte hall. Cases are opened regardless of what is in them due to the contestant picking randomly. Totally different
