dude it's 5 am here and i'm back from a party but i can't sleep; still i got an answer for you so-called riddle

I WOULD SWITCH THE BOXES

why?

if you will change to the other box, you will have 2/3 chances! you'll duoble your first chance!


the chance of you choosing the right box when you have 3 boxes is 33%
the chance of you choosing the wrong box out of 3 boxes is 66%

thus, when you have only 2 boxes (your first choice and what is left) if you change your selection your chances of winning are HIGHER!!!
