review text: The paper considers the following two-person zero-sum game. The minimizing player chooses to hide his gold and a mine in two distinct boxes from an infinite number of boxes labelled 1,2,3,.... The maximizing player now chooses to open the boxes in some order, and if he finds the gold before the mine the payoff to him is 1; otherwise, the payoff is zero. The game is solved in the sense of Kindler.
