It seems like no edits to the article have been made yet. As noted on the page, adding additional citations would be helpful in improving the page quality. There are only three sources, and there are large chunks of text on the page with no accompanying citations.

Some style edits could also be made to the tone of this page to make sure it is neutral. In the section "Mathematical formulation," for example, I would suggest editing the phrase "The crucial difference making A and C unequal is that..." to be more formal and neutral. Also, the section titled "Table" could be renamed to something far more descriptive/relevant to what that section's purpose is.

I suggest editing all the fractions to math mode, as well as distinguishing between the letters A, B, and C for the prisoners vs. the event of a prisoner being released, to make the page more consistent and cohesive. For instance, in the "Problem" section, the letters A, B, C are plain text to denote the prisoners. In the "Mathematical formulation section, the math mode letters A, B, C are events, but in "Why the paradox?", the math mode letters A, B, C are referencing the prisoners. You should decide on one scheme or convention and make sure the entire article sticks to it.
