There seems to be a key flaw in the provided ruleset at 2:41 in the video.<p>I assumed that the boxes are numbered simply for viewers' convenience and NOT because they are actually numbered in the room when prisoners go in.<p>The ruleset confirmed this as it had no mention of the boxes themselves being numbered.<p>I think of it as a flaw since any form of information could've otherwise not been used to execute a standardized procedure of any sort, prior to going inside the room.<p>And since prisoners cannot relay information by changing any aspect of the room or its constituents, this makes the problem seemingly impossible to solve.<p>With the introduction of numbered boxes, however, things get more complicated and
new functions start to emerge, which could then be played with to entertain the possibility of a better solution.
