Take box B (one boxer)
Take both boxes A and B (two boxer)
There is a reliable predictor, a player, and two boxes designated A and B. The player is given a choice between taking only box B or taking both boxes A and B. The player knows the following:[4]
Box A is transparent and always contains a visible $1,000.
Box B is opaque, and its content has already been set by the predictor:
If the predictor has predicted that the player will take both boxes A and B, then box B contains nothing.
If the predictor has predicted that the player will take only box B, then box B contains $1,000,000.
The player does not know what the predictor predicted or what box B contains while making the choice.
