Interview Riddle # 1 ( Reward 0.001BTC to random good answer in comment )

in #riddle8 years ago


Sarah and Michael are a couple. One night Sarah playfully places three identical boxes on a table in front of Michael. Out of the three boxes, one contains a pearl and other two are empty. Michael is then allowed to pick any one of them. Now between the two boxes that remain on the table, at least one is empty. Sarah removes one empty box from the table.
Now Michael must choose from the box he picked or the box on the table.

Sort:  

The classic Monty Hall issue akin to the three door game from game shows. Statistics say that you have a better chance to win the pearl if you switch boxes. Now this is not a guaranteed win but over the long haul this is a better strategy and better winning percentage. So I would switch boxes.
