Talk:Bertrand's box paradox

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article should probably be consolidated with Three cards problem, since they are exactly the same problem, only with cards substituted for boxes, sides and their colors substituted for drawers and their coins. -- Antaeus Feldspar 05:22, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Also, there was some discussion on the Three cards problem's talk page about a similar Lewis Carroll problem. Also, apparently the three cards article was nominated for deletion in January 2006 on the grounds of it being original research—so adding Bertrand and Carroll to the article, perhaps in a "History of the problem" section, would give the article more credibility. I'll add this comment to the Three cards problem's talk page. —Rafi Neal 03:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
