I did not claim that the problem statement used the word “occasions”.
Beauty should answer whatever probability she would answer if she was well-calibrated. So does a well-calibrated Beauty answer ‘1/2’ or 1⁄3′? Does Laplace let her into Heaven or not?
By the way, do you happen to remember the name or location of the article in which Eliezer proposed the idea of being graded for your beliefs (by Laplace or whoever), by something like cross-entropy or K-L divergence, such that if you ever said about something true that it had probability 0, you’d be infinitely wrong?

What Nick said. Laplace is also mentioned jokingly in a different context in An Intuitive Explanation of Bayes’ Theorem.
Well, 1⁄3. I thought you were supposed to be defending the plausibility of the “1/2” answer here—not asking others which answer is right.
