mouse click. Your choice will be marked green;
the show master opens one of the the two doors remaining (marked by a red frame).
- Confirm your
choice with a second mouse click or, if you changed your mind, select
the
black
door.
Now the result will be shown and displayed as
text.
- Click on "new game"
The button "clear" will reset all previous
results !

Repeat and compare the results with and without
changing your choice !
Hint: the Java console shows the distribution of the random
numbers (1,2,3).
