  2. Very interesting riddle and I definitely wasn't able to figure out the correct solution. However, as you can change the loops simply by offsetting the box numbers, would following be a better or worse strategy? After opening 26 boxes, do not follow the sequence. Instead go to your own box and add 1 to the number in the slip and open that box. Continue doing that for the next 24 boxes. If you end up with a box number that you've already opened, add one to the slip inside that box. Is the probability of being in a loop shorter than 26 boxes in two different loop configuration higher or lower than being in a single loop shorter than 50 boxes?
