(on my Riddle)
Because there is no limit in E1 (due to the fact that the envelope was unmarked), the amount you make in the long run will just as much if you stick with E1 or switch. If there is a limit on what E1 is, whenever E2 is > E1, the amount in E2 will aways be greater than the amount the would be in E1 when E1 > E2.
Example: let us say that E1=1000. When E2 > E1, E2=2000. When E1 > E2, E1 = 1000. 2000 is > 1000. Therefore when there is a limit on E1, it makes sense to switch.
When there is no limit on E1(as is the case with the Riddle), the above example is not true. Therefore it does not matter wheither switch or not. So the answer to the Riddle is no. It is confusing, but no is the right answer.

The prize will only be behind the door you first chose 1/3 of the time. 2/3 of time, the prize will be behind the other two doors. The door the game show host opens will aways be a door that the prize is not behind. Therefore 2/3 of time, the door that you did not original chose and was not opened by the host, will contain the prize,and 1/3 of the time. So therefore, it would make sense to switch. The answer is yes.
