You did get me to pay a little more attention to the problem. I'd two box in that case. I'm not sure where my crossover is.

Edited to add: I think I got it backwards. I'd still one box. Committing to one-box seems advantageous if Omega is reasonably reliable.

I suppose that then you could numbers on whether the person will reliably keep commitments.
