You're in a room with 100 boxes. 99 of them contain $100,000...

but the money is in the boxes

who made you in charge of who gets the money, *****?

The point is, you go into a room, you decide if you want to play, you pick a box - you either live or die, and you decided if you want to repeat the process. If you die, that's it. The game gets reset for the next player. It's an all or nothing scenario, at least, that's how I understood it. It's to see how much people are willing to risk their lives for some cash.

Alrighty, doing some maths on the subject:
Once you've opened Box 21, you've had a 25% chance to die
Once you've opened Box 39, you've had a 50% chance to die
Once you've opened Box 52, you've had a 75% chance to die
At least, with the calculations I was doing, these figures should be accurate, doing 1/100 + 1/99 + 1/98 etc.
~~~
After trying the above idea, I hit 1 on exactly my 50th box. Spooky 1/2 coincidence ?

This is wrong. If you carry on, you'll see that you will be guaranteed to die before you even reach box 100.

The correct Maths is:

(1/100)+((1/99)*(99/100))+((1/98)*(98/99)*(99/100))+... etc.

Oh, I tried multiplying the death chances first and it didnt work, but I'll have a look with those stas
