Why do people keep pretending to think it's not 2/3? It's not funny or original or even decent bait. Fuck you.
Isaac Butler
there are 3 boxes, each box contains N balls.
one box contains N gold balls, another box contains N silver balls, and the final box contains one gold ball and N-1 silver balls
probability of picking golden ball from box one is 1/3
probability of picking golden ball from box final is (1/3)*(1/N)
if you picked from box one, there is 100% change to pick golden ball as next
if you picked from box final, there is 0% chance to pick golden ball as next
this the chance of next ball being golden is (1/3)/((1/3) + ((1/3)*(1/N))) = N/(N+1)
obviously it should diverge to plus infinity for N going to infinity, which this does
let N := 2 then chance is 2/3

Wyatt Johnson
Exactly, the question is asking how many different outcomes there are, and there are 2 i.e. 50%, it's not asking your chance of winning/losing the lottery like the 66% brainlets shill

>There are three boxes, each with one drawer on each of two sides. Each drawer contains a coin. One box has a gold coin on each side (GG), one a silver coin on each side (SS), and the other a gold coin on one side and a silver coin on the other (GS). A box is chosen at random, a random drawer is opened, and a gold coin is found inside it. What is the chance of the coin on the other side being gold?
>It may seem that the probability that the remaining coin is gold is 1/2, but in truth, the probability is actually 2/3.
People who continue to insist that the answer is 50% after being proven wrong have brain damage.

I scored 147 on that test last time I did it. What's your point?
Gabriel Parker
Your IQ lies outside the area that the test is able to measure. We are hoping to extend this area as soon as we have gathered more data. Remember that it is a good idea to practice tests such as this - there are many others available online.
I also completed the test within 10 seconds
SUCK IT!

import random
boxes = [["gold", "gold"],
["gold", "silver"],
["silver", "silver"]]
gold_success = 0
gold_attempts = 0
for r in range(1000):
box = random.choice(boxes).copy()
random.shuffle(box)
# Items in box is shuffled. "randomly" take the first one
first = box[0]
if first is not "gold":
continue # We're not looking for this.
second = box[1]
if second is "gold":
gold_success += 1
gold_attempts += 1
probability = gold_success/gold_attempts
print(f"{gold_success} balls were gold after {gold_attempts} attempts.")
print(f"{probability} success rate")
$ python3 probable.py
345 balls were gold after 508 attempts.
0.6791338582677166 success rate
Looks 2/3 to me, mate.

tried to click random answers and ranked 97
seems pretty scary desu

Well at least I'm not getting both older and retarded.

But you are getting older and you're borderline retarded.

that's exactly what i got but i'm also drunk and it's a meme test

>tfw keep getting 121
what the fuck I'm in one of the best universities in the country doing a stem subject with 20% graduation rate, I can't be this fucking stupid
Ryan King
IQ is not a measure of intelligence. Don't dwell on it user, if you manage to graduate you will have a good job.
Michael Jones
I'm nowhere near being that high, I'm fucking retarded.
Jackson Sanders
The question is badly worded, it tries to make you believe the choice is the box, but in reality the choice is the coin. There are three possible coins it can be, and 2 of them result in the next coin being gold, and one of them result in the next coin being silver. so its 2 out of a total of 3 possibilities.
Grayson Powell
>Coins
It's balls, you dumb kike
Nicholas Hall
1/3 of the boxes have 2 gold balls, so 1/3
The reason it's not 1/3 is because of pretentious math faggotry
Jaxon Young
121 isn't stupid. It's like saying 5'8" is manlet tier, it's not.

well at least it's finally confirmed i'm a fucking brainlet. I didn't even bother with the last 15% and just clicked on random because my brainlet head started to ache

Brody Brooks
but you are given you already took a gold ball so it's 2/3. the probability of this happening from the very start it's 1/3
Levi Watson
How has nobody realised this is bullshit? If everyone is above average then nobody is. A real iq test can't be conducted online, and these preliminary tests aren't actual iq tests.

133 IQ, 50% is correct

The answer is 2/3. I wrote a script that proves this: pastebin.com

It's called a two dimensional array, but I bet you've never programmed anything more complicated than fizzbuzz. Btw, there is nothing wrong with it. The only thing wrong is that he used Python.
