Probability paradox ...

Hmmm... came across this recently ...

And God said: "Lo, I have laid before you two boxes.

The first is transparent and contains $1,000, and the second is opaque and either contains nothing or $1,000,000.

You have two choices: one is to take both boxes and keep their contents and the other is to take only the second box.

If I expect you to take the both boxes, I will have left the second box empty. If I expect you to take only the second box, I will have put $1,000,000 in it."

Which of the two choices should you make?

After you have read and considered your answer and not before ... you may click to view the ANSWER to the paradox.
