Are you smarter than a pigeon?

Easist way to understand it:

I have 3 cards, A, K & Q.

I deal you one.

I then show you the lowest card I have.

You still only have 1 in 3 chance of having the Ace.

I don't see how this is an easy way to understand it because there are 3 different cards/prizes. In fact, it would be an entirely different problem.

Example assuming that I am shooting for the ace: Say I'm dealt a king, you are forced to show me the queen, then I can switch with 100% certainty of getting the ace.

edit: your example is correct for the first part, i.e. showing that you are still only at 1/3 chance of having the ace after being shown a card but before deciding to switch. Still confusing though..
