He should switch doors. when he first picked the door there was a 33% chance of winnig, however once one choice is eliminated his second chance it is 50% that he will win
so by picking the new door he increases his chances by 17 %

Makes no difference at this point if he switches. The chances are 50/50, meaning he has a 1 in 2 chance of getting the boo-boo or 1 in 2 chance of getting the car.

Thats all up to the contestant because the chance of winning or losing is 50/50.
