In Gary's original version of this problem, Omega tries to predict what the agent would do if box A was filled. Also, I think box B is supposed to be always filled.

Whoops, box B was supposed to have a thousand in both cases.

I did have in mind the variant where Omega picks the self-consistent case, instead of using only the box A prediction, though.
