There is nothing in [the original problem statement] that explicitly indicates any sort of pattern. I only see that in ONE INSTANCE the host offered this choice. Just saying "DOES" is ambiguous in this case. It allows both: 'Host DOES THIS TIME open a goat door and DOES THIS TIME offer a switch' and 'Host DOES ALWAYS open a goat door and DOES ALWAYS offer a switch'
Suppose there are a million doors, and you pick door #1. Then the host, who knows what's behind the doors and will always avoid the one with the prize, opens them all except door #777,777. You'd switch to that door pretty fast, wouldn't you?
