Does your head hurt AND you understand it, or does it just hurt and you still don't understand it? Cause that's where I am.

Math has always seemed to me so mysterious, like something I had to just take on faith.  Because I do not get the logic behind this.  I freely admit this is a brain wiring problem, something did not get soldered right maybe.

Maybe Heaven will be where I understand math.  Whoop Eee.;)

What part don't you understand? The beginning of the article had a trivially easy to understand explanation.

Yes, the easy way to understand it is explained in the article. Just imagine Monty Hall going through 99 doors as opposed to 3.
