Spoiler for my take

 

Can you gain as much by switching back? Using the same reasoning?

 

There is a paradox: A gain for switching can be anticipated.

Yet, there is a preferred envelope, and if we initially chose it we should not switch.

 

 

Not sure what you mean by "switching back". The 50/50 comes from randomly picking one of 2 envelopes from which we know one has double the money of the other. I don't see a paradox.

Spoiler for solution with at most 3 button presses and at most 2 jolts

 

 

 

Sorry, TSLF. I don't think I understand your comment. Are you saying that it's possible that a liar gets jolted twice by pressing LT followed by LR? It's either a T or R to his left, so both of these cannot be true.
