I'm thinking outside the box...er two boxes. Since I wasn't told I can't take both boxes, I'm doing just that. I'm picking one, taking the other (really taking both). If I'm told, "but, um, you see, you have to give one back," then I will. Both boxes will be given back, in good time, and I will specifically say to whoever cares. You are not allowed to open either box until I am 18.4 miles away from this destination.

IMO, this little exercise wasn't set up that well, but to answer within the integrity of what was being asked: I believe I honestly would be happy with either box I am allowed to open. I may stand to gain more from choosing (and opening and taking contents of) one box over the other, but in my view, if I could play a lottery where I either get some money, or more money, I would be going for "some money" and feel I would win no matter what I chose.
