This thought experiment presents a scenario in which a group of 100 prisoners are tasked with finding their own numbered slip among a collection of 100 boxes, each containing a random permutation of the numbers 1 through 100.

+

- The prisoners are allowed to open 50 boxes each in an attempt to find their own number, and - all of the prisoners must be successful in order to be set free. This problem raises - questions about strategy and probability in search of a solution. + Given the premise, the lack of options, and the incredibly tiny odds, one would presume + this challenge to be impossible - but it turns out there is a strategy that guarantees a + 31% chance of success!
