Bertrand's Box Paradox - Simulator

This simulates a paradox called Bertrand's Box, in which you will have to figure out which box is the best choice.

One box has $200 (2 x $100 bills) in it, and the other has $101 (1 x $100 dollar bills and 1 x $1 bills). This simulation drives to prove whether there is a logical choice you can make, or whether the results are completely random.

In this simulation, the computer pulls out a single random bill from a single box. Once the computer pulls out a $100 dollar bill, you get to choose which box you want to keep for yourself. Once you have made your choice, data is extracted and the boxes are reset. If the computer pulls out a $1 bill, the round is skipped and the boxes reset. You can count this as a win if you wish, since you will know for certain which of the boxes has more money in it.

This is not a game per se, but a demonstration of a paradox.
