In hindsight it was pretty dumb of me to not post this too. Thanks for putting the information out there

2 doors should have been opened.

That's assuming you don't want the goat and want the "real" prize

No. You'd pick a door that would stay closed and then they'd open an incorrect door.

Then you're given the final choice to pick which door to take.

So I guess we can presume that Beret Guy chose A or C, Monty Hall revealed the goat behind door B, and then Beret Guy switched his choice... to door B.

Ok, that would make sense lol

The explain article had this in it which helped me make a lot more sense of it. I was unaware of the "zonk" aspect.

...while others simply involved the contestant making choices between a series of doors or boxes. In such games of choice, there were often several prizes and typically at least one "zonk", the show's name for an undesirable "gag" prize, which on the original Monty Hall version of the show were frequently animals such as goats.

The entire premise of a "zonk" is that the contestant would be disappointed. Goats were a common "zonk," and it's assumed most contestants would have no ability to house, and no use for, a domestic goat. The comic shows that Beret Guy, upon the host revealing that door B has a goat behind it, chooses to take the goat to keep as a pet, which makes them both very happy.

Just hold the cabbage, it doesn't need a seat
