The probability that *was* 1/6. The probability of that *IS* 1.
You seem to have an issue with how time works. To tie this back to the 3 boxes problem, the probability you would select the box with 2 silver balls *was* 1/3. The probability it was selected given you've pulled a gold ball at random from the selected box *is* 0. The probability you selected either box with gold balls *was* 1/3 each and 1/6 combined. It now *is* 1/2 each and 1 combined. Because you have selected a box with a gold ball in it. That is just a thing that is now true. It has a probability of 1.
>Doesn't matter that that's explicitly contradicted by the method of rolling, that's just my clever wordplay at work
It's literally not. It was possible to roll a 6.
Maybe stay away from probability problems since you have no idea what the fuck you're doing. Trying to teach you basic shit is soul-draining. FFS, you're brain broken by the idea of doing a thing that you might not have been able to do had something else happened that did not happen. Do you think it's impossible to write down an even number from a roll of 6 because the roll might have been a roll of 5? The actual fuck is wrong with you?
