I had no idea what the Monty Hall problem was. Upon looking it up, I think I can explain it:
Monty introduced NEW INFORMATION into the system once he exposed the door that was a zonk (he told the contestant which door NOT to choose). The contestant had NO new information on the door he/she chose, but new (and beneficial) information on the doors he/she didn't choose. To benefit from that new info, the logical choice was to switch.
If that still doesn't make sense, i can try to explain it differently.
