Hi all,

I found on Internet many different views of the famous "two-envelope
paradox"... I thought by definition, "paradox" means it has no correct
answer, different solutions can be proposed depending on different view
angles...

---------------------------------------------
"The Two-Envelope Paradox: I am presented with two envelopes A and B, and
told that one contains twice as much money as the other. I am given envelope
A, and offered the options of keeping envelope A or switching to B. What
should I do? "
---------------------------------------------

But I'd like to know some most recent/conclusive results on this
"two-envelope paradox"?

Does it has some meaningful results, or it is just a numbering game?

Thanks a lot
