Question

A great advance has occured in the field of artificial intelligence. A computer has been programmed to predict your actions, and has proven itself able to do so with amazing accuracy. You have put it through many difficult and devious tests, yet it has always been correct in its predictions. A certain multibillionaire with a twisted sense of humor has decided to reward you for your great discovery. He take you into a room with two boxes and tells you that box A contains $10,000 while box B either contains nothing, or a certified check for 1 billion dollars. You will be allowed to open exactly one box and keep it contents. The catch is this: Earlier, your program was asked what you would do. If the computer predicted you would open box A, then the 1 billion dollar check was placed in box B. If the computer predicted you would open box B, the box will be empty. Which box should you open?

Note that box B was prepared before you enter the room.

Good Luck!
