But this entire thing is a probability paradox, and is hard to actually apply to real life. Regardless, I do see where people are trying to go with it and it does make sense, I just don't like it.

I think I will just submit defeat. I understand why it would be a better chance, but effectively you're left with 2 options and 2 results. Oh well. I grow tired of discussing this one. Guess that's what "paradoxes" do to you.

You can make the test. Take 3 cups with one coin under one of the cups. Let an other person pick a cup, say him which cup is wrong, then look at the results when he stays or switch.
