two choices: (1) take both boxes and keep their contents (2) take only the second box.
(A) If you think God is just guessing what you will do then U say 50/50 second box has $1M inside ->
choice (1) = take both; expected return $1000 + 0.5 times $1M = $501,000.
choice (2) = take second only expected return = 0.5 times $1M = $500,000
(B) If you think God knows what you will do then just take the second - God must have expected it and you get $1M.
