Yes.
I have stated, explicitly, at the beginning, that the person opening the doors knows where the prize is, will only open doors without a prize and that the prize doesn't change positions.
This is demonstrated by the fact that when we actually play the game, I write the door number down on a piece of paper before the game starts.
This supposed ambiguity is touted as the key to why the puzzle is so difficult but, in my experience, it makes absolutely no difference.
