Below are three numbers.

Spoiler:

The goal is to pick the largest number. Here is how it works. Click on one of the spoiler buttons. If you think that is the largest number you are done. If you don't think it is the largest number then you can click on another spoiler button. If you think that number is the highest you are done. Or, you can click on the last spoiler button if you now think it is the largest number -- and you are stuck with that number.

Here is the quiz. It appears that playing the above game you have a one in three chance of winning. Can you improve your odds? If so how?
