Amos Storkey - Brain Teasers: Two Envelope Paradox This is one of my favourite brain teasers. It was first introduced to me some years ago in a Cambridge pub garden during (if my memory serves me well) the Bayesian Methods workshop at the Neural Networks and Machine Learning session at the Newton Institute. There are many interpretations, but needless to say, I prefer the Bayesian ones.
