Title: [BRAIN TEASER] THREE BOXES! bitcoins and stones. Post by: ndnh on April 03, 2015, 01:11:06 PM 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. ;) Title: Re: [BRAIN TEASER] THREE BOXES! bitcoins and stones.

Do Physical Bitcoins and Rocks weigh same? If they're different which one is heavier? ;D If they're identical and they make sound same when we shake them then it's 50:50.

It still won't be. Also, it is assumed you can't do all that stuff. That would be unfair. ;) Title: Re: [BRAIN TEASER] THREE BOXES! bitcoins and stones.

Post by: ndnh on April 03, 2015, 04:58:29 PM Great poll! We have way different set of answers. :D
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? |
