If someone wants a visual example of the gold ball puzzle, I've labelled the balls.

Gold balls 1 and 2 (G1 and G2) are in Box A, Gold ball 3 (G3) is in Box B with Silver ball 1 (S1) and Box C has S2 and S3 of course

If you pick a ball and then must pick the other ball from the same box (second picking indicated by ->), there are six possibilities.

Since we are concerned with what happens when you pick a gold ball we can disregard 3 of the possibilities.
