I know WHY the Monty Hall problem explanation is right, but I still can't fully wrap my head around it.
New addition to the Monty Hall solution: if you just spent 25 minutes walking up a steep hill, and find yourself inside a giant Buddha, make sure to stick with your existing door!
I think Amy estimated that at least one of each team knew about the Monty Hall problem, so made it the one they were most likely to pick first.
Bonus evil genius points if that website was tricky and always made it the one they'd picked first, no matter which one it was !
