Box 3 Contains the GOLD

On box 1 is written: "This box is empty" FALSE - There is a rock in it
On box 2 is written: "Box 3 contains the gold" TRUE - It does
On box 3 is written: "The other boxes are empty" FALSE - There is a rock in box one

Hence 1 ...[text shortened]... herefore box 3 could contain the gold.

Sorry about the Caps, getting a bit too excited.

Which box contains the gold?

Box one could have an arrow drawn on it to point to box 2. Then "This box is empty ->" would be saying box 2 was empty. This would be true if box one contained the gold

So:

If box 1 is empty, box 2 contains the gold.
If box 1 has a rock in it, box 3 contains the gold
If box 1 has an arrow to box 2 on it, box 1 contains the gold.
