Which statement means the same as “Not everyone at the party danced”?
“Not everyone” only rules out “all of them”: one person sitting out is enough to make it true. It doesn't say how many danced. The opposite of “all” is “at least one not”, not “none”.

A prize is behind one of three doors. You pick door 1. The host, who knows where the prize is and always opens an empty door you didn't pick, opens door 3 and offers you door 2. Which gives you the better chance?
