The gold is in Box 1
Step-by-step explanation:
- Box 1 has the message that says "The gold is not in Box 2". This means that the gold must either be in box 1 or box 3. Box 2 has the inscribed message "The gold is in this box". This message is a bit misleading since box 1 already has a message that confirms that the gold is not in box 2.
- In the case of the third box, Box 3 contains the confirmatory message that "The gold is not in this box". This confirms the fact that the gold is not in box 3, ruling out the probability of getting the gold in box 1 from the message got in Box 1.
- Hence, the only possibility is that the gold is in Box 1.
Hence, the gold is in Box 1.
