There aren't three boxes after the question is asked. You already picked a ball from one of the boxes. This automatically removes one of the boxes (if you picked a silver ball the all-gold box is removed, and if you picked a gold ball the all-silver box is removed). It is AFTER THAT (that initial picking) the question is asked. At the point of the question, the "3 boxes" isn't a factor anymore.
