The math is contingent on whether you know the host knows or doesn't know where the door with the car is. This is the counterintuitive bit.

Your program shows exactly what I mean: "Impossible" cannot be non-zero, your modified question is not well-defined.

Yes, of course it depends on the host knowing where the goat is, because if he doesn't, the scenario is not well-defined anymore. This is not annoying, this is to be expected (pun intended).
