Monty Hall

[Poll #1770413]

Explanation

I have known what the answer was for ages, but for some reason it only "clicked" in my head today. You can blame [livejournal.com profile] sarahs_muse for triggering it.

You're right, it's a bad phrasing. "the first one" was meant to mean "I have checked one, and will soon check the other".

Either way, there's no position.

Yeah, I saw your reply to Andy below. With the revised phrasing and no position, I agree that it's a 2/3 chance the other is male.
