The three day version goes: “Beauty is explained the rules on Sunday and put to sleep, then a coin is flipped. If it comes up heads, Beauty is awakened on Monday and sleeps through Tuesday and Wednesday. If it comes up tails, Beauty is awakened on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. On all awakenings (with the previous day’s memories erased by the sleeping drug) she is asked for her credence in Heads.”
This differs from the original which says “the experiment ends on Monday is the coin comes up heads”. But Beauty would have the same uncertainty if you decided, in the original version, to wake Beauty on Tuesday in the event of heads, rather than Monday.
BTW the Google spreadsheet has a chat area, if you’d like to discuss this live.
Can you explain what the three day version means in English, I’m having a little trouble parsing the spreadsheet.
See here and its grandparent.
