Kazenge Ok... Umm... I guess flip over the first one, discard it. Look at the second one. If it's higher than keep it. If not higher take the third one? I reckon you would still lose most of the time, but I think it increases the odds.
Correct, and your odds raise to 1/2 rather than 1/3. A. 1+2+3=lose B. 2+1+3=win C. 3+1+2=lose D. 3+2+1=lose E. 2+3+1=win F. 1+3+2=win
This comes from the days of knights and kings and fair maidens. Turns out that the fair maiden Rowena wishes to wed. Her father, the evil king, has devised a way to drive to drive off suitors. He has a quiz for the suitors, and here it is. It's very simple. There are three boxes on the table, OK? One is made of gold. One is made of silver. And the third is made of lead. Inside one of these boxes is a picture of the fair Rowena and it is the job of the knight is to figure out which-without opening them, of course- has her picture. Now, to assist him in this endeavor there are inscriptions on each of the boxes. The gold box says "Rowena's picture is in this box." The silver box says "The picture ain't in this box." The lead box says, "The picture ain't in the gold box." one of the statements, and only one, is true. If the knight just opens the box with the picture, he gets the girl. The question is: Where's the picture? I repeat, one, and only one, of the statements is true.
