In the beginning, with 3 boxes, things were simple. You had a chance of 1 in 3 to find the prize. NOW we know that one of the boxes is empty but you still made a guess of 1 in 3, now you have a new choice of 1 in 2. Your probability goes up and that is why you SHOULD CHANGE THE BOX. Don’t feel bad if you disagree, this riddle has been hotly debated.
