gollark: You don't pick B, you pick either just A or A+B.
gollark: But, considering only somehow "real" universes, your choice after the boxes are filled can't affect the contents and it's "strictly better" to take both, as this provides more money than taking one. But everyone who does this gets less money than the oneboxer people due to them being predicted as doing that. Thus paradox.
