Hello,  if you can see this post on Facebook right now because perhaps Facebook loads the current page as a preview then don't continue to read yet if you are taking the Algebra class bonus question. 

Here is the question: 

There are three boxes in front of you. Each of them has a label. Exactly one of the statements is true.

Silver box: "The prize is not in this box."
Bronze box: "The prize is not in the gold box."
Gold box: "The prize is in this box."

Okay.  If you are coming over from Facebook to see the answer then you must have reached a conclusion.  Here was my conclusion:  The Bronze box is true.  It is the only statement that, if true, could be true by itself.  If any other box was deemed true, then at least one of the other boxes could also have been true.  Only the Bronze box could be true while the other two boxes were both false at the same time.  Is that what you found?
