Of the 3 remaining possibilities, 2 lead to you picking another gold ball, so your odds of picking two gold balls having already picked one is 2/3.

Those 2 possibilities are the ones in which you picked the first ball from the box with another gold ball, Box A, so we can do this with Flakes too.

If there are 100 flakes in each box there are 300 total but we are concerned about the 101 gold flakes

You picked 1 of those 101 gold flakes, what are the odds it came from a box with other gold flakes, Box A? 100 out of 101 or >99%
