If you haven't heard of this, then don't Google it - just read through it and see if you follow
If you are on a game show, and there are 3 doors; A, B and C. I tell you that afancy sports car is behind one of the doors, and behind the other two is nothing, which door would you pick?
Now, if I tell you that the door to the right of your chosen door (or the far left, if you chose the far right) hasnothing behind it, that means that only your door and one other are unknown. Do you wish to keep your original door or switch for the other door?

Exactly it'won't work every time obviously but it increases your chances over several goes, so in theory it's your best option to change.

If you have made your choice and are told the one to the right of yours is empty, then you have a 50/50 chance - changing your mind would be pointless - move to the right (braindead) you have no chance, move to the left you still have 50/50
The clue is in the fact that you have already made your first choice

That's just it it's not 50/50 and the tests have shown that.
