I dunno. If you hold the box upsidedown to open the bottom, the bottom becomes the top, and the top becomes the bottom.
And what if the prize is in the middle? :?

It well might be. Welcome to the Austrian School of Economics so well liked by Ron Paul: local actors can only obtain imperfect information and therefore rely on heuristics or rule of thumb reasoning instead of highly detailed but statistical modeling. It is the refutation of Keynesianism.

Keynesianism: the belief that the best way to reduce the incidence of burglary is to incrementally reduce the value of your home through massive government spending on surveillance.

I think if you are in Australia, you always get the prize on the bottom first when you open the top.
