sketchers and LeRoux, those probabilities are correct if the Gnomes pick the boxes at random. But, they can do better than that. Actually they can do quite a bit better, although I will say that it's still most likely that they get eaten.

Robbajob, there's a picture on the passports (the owners picture). The passports are placed in the boxes at random, and so no, there is no correspondence between the Gnomes and the numbers on the boxes. However, their chances for survival are still ultimately better than 0%.

Onlycafe is closest, but still incorrect.

Isn't this fun?!
