There's 20 players with 20 briefcases, one case with a million dollars.

The game consists of players lining up and one by one choosing one briefcase. Obviously the likelihood of choosing the correct briefcase increases the more empty briefcases the people in front of you select.

You win an earlier round of the game that lets you choose when to go in the million dollar round. So which spot in the line from 1-20 would you choose and why?
