Suppose you have three boxes with 10 drawers each. The first box has 10 silver coins, the second box has 9 silver coins and 1 gold coin, and the third box has 10 gold coins. Now you pick a box, open a drawer, and find a gold coin. Now you have eliminated the first box, so there's a fifty-fifty chance that it's either the second or third box ... right?
