Great poll! We have way different set of answers. Cheesy

Here is some more to for you to think about.
I opened another box, which had 2 stones! Is it advantageous for you to switch from the box you initially picked to another one?

Yes? No? Or it doesn't matter?

If they're identical and they make sound same when we shake them then it's 50:50.

Nope. It still won't be.

Also, it is assumed you can't do all that stuff. That would be unfair. Wink

Is that guy responding 50% to anything or what, the chances of getting a box with a bitcoin in it are 2/3 aince the start and are always the same

Can we shake etc the boxes?
Do Physical Bitcoins and Rocks weigh same?

If they're different which one is heavier? Grin

Ok, here is another one. (Intelligent guys, keep suspense!)

There are 3 boxes.
1st one has 2 Physical Bitcoins
2nd has 1 Physical Bitcoin and a stone.
3rd one has 2 stones.


You pick one box at random (you don't know which one has which) and gets 1 Physical Bitcoin! wow!

What is the probability that the next one is also a physical BTCitcoin?



P.S. If you think the odds are 50:50, that is 1/2, send an amount to 1MCiA3FtqxpqhTL3rF9fWbLAt8pfFWN4z1 and if the answer is 1/2, you will get 5x the send amount. Wink
