I have picked a winning door. It is somewhere between 1-1000. I have written down the answer on a post-it on my monitor.
Pick a door, any door. I will then eliminate all doors but yours and one other. One of those two will be the winning door.
I will then give you the opportunity to switch, if you like.
I give you my pledge now -- switching will give you a 99.9% chance of winning.
Of course, since you think the odds are 50-50, we can go through several trials if you like.
Pick a door, Artsemis!

You, sir, have a way with words.
Not sure exactly what it was you said that worked, but it just "clicked" for me when I read your post
