RE: A puzzle

I have no doubt in your drawing. The math behind it is 100% correct.
What I don't like about this problem is the wording of the solution.

How can the chance still be 1/3 if there are only 2 doors?

Which is the end result. No matter whether one door was removed or not, you are "mixing" the two doors and picking again.
"Mixing" here is by not mixing them. You still don't know what's behind the doors, so whether they're mixed or not won't matter.

Trying is the first step to success.
