Abstract
The prediction of the N-box paradox, that whichever box is opened will contain the record of the particle having passed through it, is traced to a failure to specify whether the other boxes are distinguishable or indistinguishable. These correspond to different ways of lifting the degeneracy of a certain measurement, and have incompatible consequences.
