Wikipedia says 1/3.
Probably statistical clustering. Try it with more doors - if it were the same as the host-knows version, you'd win 9/10 times for ten doors.

Edit: no, sorry... it always ends up a 1/2 chance if you exclude those cases, yes, with any number of doors (assuming the host gets down to 2 doors without opening one on the car.) The point is that you don't gain anything by switching.

it's 1/3 overall, including the host fuck ups,
but it's 1/2 for each of switching and not switching.

Of course it is.
Sorry.
