Okay, late night thought experiment:
Imagine two identical envelopes. One has $100. The other has either $200 or nothing. You pick one. Then, you're told what's inside the one you *didn't* pick.
Do you switch?
Most people say no, because it feels like a 50/50. But think about it... what if you *knew* the other envelope had $200? Or nothing? Does the knowledge change the odds?
It's making my brain itch.
