Here is a similar problem.
You have 3 cards
White on both sides
Black on both sides
White on one side, black on the other
You only see one side of the card
You see the side is white
What is the probability that the other side is black
No, the answer is not 50% and you can go and test this yourself over and over and over and you'll see it converges to a different number.
