Popis:	An attempt to resolve the controversy regarding the solution of the Sleeping Beauty Problem in the framework of the Many-Worlds Interpretation led to a new controversy regarding the Quantum Sleeping Beauty Problem. We apply the concept of a measure of existence of a world and reach the solution known as �thirder� solution which differs from Peter Lewis�s �halfer� assertion. We argue that this method provides a simple and powerful tool for analysing rational decision theory problems.
