Three Doors and 1 Prize

Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick door No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to switch to door No. 2?" Wat will be your choice??

If the doors are not numbered ( i'm assuming since if the player selects door number 1 and host chooses his own door then obviously the only option is doors are not numbered )

Answer: I would say a big emphatic "NO" to the host and ask him to open door no:3

Reason: it is obvious that the car is lieng in any one of the corner doors- since if he has to open the other corner of the door when I select door 1 - the only reason for him to open that is he trying to hide me from the opposite corner.
