i know it doesn't at first make sense, but I think that its right.
u picked 1 your onyl option left is 3 so how would picking three improve your chance? you still picked one of the 2 proper choices by choseing over again you dont improve your odds

EDIT: yes jake that just proves you are the head wombat cuz ur the smarter one
