• The sentence "Each box contains either a million dollars or a deadly snake that will kill you instantly." does not mean that one box contains a million dollars and the other box contains a snake. It does mean that neither box is empty and the only possibilities for what can be in the boxes are snakes or a million dollars. Based on this sentence alone, the following four cases are allowed:

  A	B
  $	$
  $	Snake
  Snake	$
  Snake	Snake
