I'll start with a hard one:
There are three boxes.
Box One has Two gold coins.
Box Two has Two Silver coins.
Box Three has One Gold coin and One Silver coin.
You reach into a random box and you pull out a gold coin. What is the probability that the other coin in the box is gold?

Not a valid explanation, please read it again.
Edit: Oh whoops, I should be taking my own advice >.>
But yes, there are two gold coins > one silver coin, hence 2/3

It's 1/2 because only 2 boxes contain gold coins and One is only 1 gold coin. And the other has all gold coins.
