Ok, you show still some lame resistance, Uri, but it will not succeed. :)

You miss the main point. What is the difference between case 1 (you know that he
won't open your door) and case 2 (you don't know that he opens others but not
yours?) - But did the other guy know that he was the second chosen candidate?
No, he didn't know it. And you are now assuming that he must have the car.

But to make it more complicated, I say, because I'm the host, the following to
you, I say "Uri you are my special guest today, I won't open your door, all
others must be prepared that I will open their door!"

Now - what is your answer? Do you have 1/1 million and the other guy has
999999/1 million??????
