Each of three identical jewelry boxes has two drawers. In each drawer of the first box there is a gold watch. In each drawer of the second box there is a silver watch. In one drawer of the third box there is a gold watch while in the other there is a silver watch. If we select a box at random, open one of the drawers and find it to contain a silver watch, what is the probability that the other drawer has the gold watch?

Bonnie and Connie are twins with identical purses. Bonnie needs 35 cents to pay for a parking meter. Suppose that Bonnie's purse has 5 quarters, 3 dimes, and 2 nickels while Connie's purse has 2 quarters, 5 dimes, and 3 nickels in it. Not being able to tell the difference between the purses, Connie picks one at random and grabs two coins from it.
