And there are 3 googolplexes of Bruce Kelletts, all of which are in very slightly different quantum states but they all observe that, although Schrodinger's cat is in slightly different quantum states, the cat is dead in all of them. Therefore if Bruce Kellett had no other information than before he opened the box he would bet that there is only one chance in four he would see an alive cat when the box was opened.
