The boxes are just a distraction

Because I smash your head in with the gold ball and take all the rest of the balls.

Like if a plane crashes on the border between canada and USA where are the survivors buried?

Or if there is rope ladder over the side of a boat and it stops 3 feet about the water and the tide goes up two feet how high is the ladder from the water.

Did you add that bottom drawing?

Whether or not you did, that image is forgetting one other outcome. Within the 2x Gold box, you can pick Gold ball #1 and then Gold ball #2, or Gold ball #2, then Gold ball #1. Those are two separate outcomes.

Knowing that, it makes the probability 2/3.

and you would probably be correct?

Im sorry,i love that you have a Group X quote as your name but according to your system, if you have ONE box only with two gold balls, you have 50% of pulling out a gold ball.

No. The answer is 50%.

 

[brianmanahan]

if you knew anything about mayne, you would know that he lusts for wealth and as such would keep the other gold ball as close to him as possible

so i can clearly not choose the box in front of me

 

[Red Squirrel]

I pretty much look like the guy in your avatar right now.

I want to go with 50%, but I think it's probably more complicated than that. Basically we can completely ignore the box with 2 silver balls because if we picked a gold we know the random box picked is one of the first two. But if you picked from the 1st then you have 100% chance of picking a gold ball again, but if you picked from the 2nd you have 0% chance. So I'm thinking you average it out and it's 50%... but I don't imagine it's that easy.

For Mayne, isn't it 0%?

How many survivors and what part of the border?

 

[Fern]

I'd say 50%. Since you already chose 1 gold ball this eliminates the box with the 2 silver balls. So, it's 50/50.

50%.

 

[pete6032]

50%. The box with two gray balls doesn't matter at all.
