...this is shrodingers box. First of all we have to consider whether or not there was any money in the box to start with.

You guys make things too complicated. Here's the nice, easy explanation:

To play this game, Fred needs to enter with $50. He puts twenty in the box. Then he buys the box for $30. He leaves with the box's contents: $40.

Bob needs to enter with $20. He puts it in the box. Then he sells the box to Fred for $30. He leaves with $30.

I think what folks might be overlooking is that mid-game, Bob STEALS the box. That gives him a big advantage over Fred and allows him to generously sell it for just $30. Swell guy, that Bob.
