(Note: I haven’t checked yet to see if 1033 is prime)
So… basically, it’s the standard Newcomb’s problem, one box or two, one boxing means it’s a prime number and two boxing means it’s a composite number being displayed for the lottery, in this singular case.
I’d still probably one box here. If 1033 is prime, and I two box… well, then, Omega probably wouldn’t have picked it and we wouldn’t be discussing this scenario.
Put another way, I don’t see how the lottery number matching Omega’s number gives me any useful information about Omega’s accuracy, since the value of one number in no way depends on the other.
