Who says? Just because it hasn't been used before, that doesn't mean it can't be used in the future. Okay, how about this. For the purposes of this hypothetical, WWTBAM is testing out the possibility of multiple possible correct answers so there are quite a few questions that have duplicates of this. I'm kinda sick of gays like you always trying to sidestep the question instead of actually answer what you know full well is being asked.
Yeah, it's a thought experiment based on a fun quirk of statistics. It's an attempt to get you to discuss a seeming paradox and reason through it. It's not meant to be a discussion of the finer points of the rules for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. You're the same as those morons that say, "I'd wish for infinite wishes!" No one fricking cares, it's a conversation starter you goddamn autist.

The answer is 25% - Even though two options show 25%, only one of the four options is correct, A B C or D, so basically you ignore the numbers in the box. A random guess of four options is 25%.
it's literally a fake image. >Is this like the goat behind the door trick and the right answer is 50% despite common sense telling you its wrong?
can you elaborate? Do you mean monty hall problem?
It can't be 0% since we know that at least one answer has to be the correct one.
There are two 25% answers so they can't both be correct since you're only allowed to pick one answer, so those are disqualified instantly.
The remaining answer is 50% which has to be true. In the context of that image it also suggest that the 25% is the correct answer but since there are two 25% answers and 4 options that makes 50% the correct answer.
if you are 100% certain that it’s 50% because you ruled everything else out then it can’t be 50%, which means you have 0% chance of getting the answer correct but you already ruled that out. So it’s just a trick question, I think, unless I’m missing something.
Is Who wants to be a millionaire just a game of luck?
I mean, there's 33.34% chance of being right unless the person happens to know the right answer, and lifelines can only get you so far into the game.
Let's say there are 15 questions with 4 choices each. Let's also say there are 3 lifelines: call-a-friend, 50-50, and ask-the-audience.
For each of the 15 questions, there is only 1 correct answer, and 3 incorrect answers, so immediately your chances are 1/3 = 33.34%. You can use each lifeline once. Using phone-a-friend, let's say gives you a 95% chance the person you call is correct. So 1 question is 95%. Similarly, we can say ask-the-audience gives you a 95% chance. Finally, 50-50 will remove 2 wrong answers, so you have 1 right answer and 1 wrong answer, so you basically know the answer. To recap:
Question 1: 33.34%
Question 2: 33.34%
Question 3: 33.34%
Question 4: 95% <--- ask-the-audience
Question 5: 33.34%
Question 6: 33.34%
Question 7: 33.34%
Question 8: 33.34%
Question 9: 95% <--- phone-a-friend
Question 10: 33.34%
Question 11: 33.34%
Question 12: 33.34%
Question 13: 33.34%
Question 14: 33.34%
Question 15: 100% <--- 50-50
Total: 690.08%
Divided by 15 questions = 46.00%
So basically, it's more a less a game of chance, but more than half the people on the show will lose, so it's not very fair. That show is making tons of money off of people.
This statement creates a classic paradox known as the "liar paradox" or the "random answer paradox." If the statement is true, then the chance of any given option being correct is not well-defined, as it leads to a logical contradiction. This paradox demonstrates the limitations and self-referential nature of certain logical statements.

A, C, and D are all plausible answers, so we may infer that the real correct answer would actually be 75%. HOWEVER, because 75% is not a possible answer there is no correct answer, so the correct answer is B.
If I jump off a cliff there's a 99% chance I'll die.
But because there are only two possible outcomes (I die or I live) it means I actually have 50% chance of surviving.
>The answer is 25% if there is only one right answer >But there are two 25% answers, which would make it a 50% >But there is only one 50%... which uou have a 25% chance of picking at random
Trick question. I choose answer E: lean forwards and rip out the throat of the glib little host in front of me. Then just bow before the inevitable standing ovation from the onlookers.
You have a 25% chance of picking that at random, you FRICKING moron
Dumbasses, the correct answer is 1/3 but that's not an option so 0% is the answer which is the refutation of the other answers and has a 1/3 chance of being picked.
You have a 50 percent chance of picking 25% moron. So that makes the answer 50 percent but you only have 1/4th chance of picking that so that can't be the answer since it means 25% percent isn't really the answer. Since the 25% appears twice, you can discard one of them which makes the actual answer 1/3 but that's not an option so 0% is left.
Not enough information. No proper question has been asked and even if it had been you could only know the chance if you already knew the answer because it's possible for a question to have more than one right answer in certain circumstances, or even that a correct answer has not actually been included as one of the potential choices.
Considering how you answer this game, it seems like 25% because even though two answers look the same, there is only one right answer. If you chose A. 25%, the answer could still be D. 25%
This has never happened in the game, so what can be done here? To win this, you would have to remove some wrong answers. If that can't be done, then you really just have to pick an answer at random.
None are right
It can't be 0, obviously
It can't be 50% because even if you assume 25% is the right answer, there are 2 of them, meaning the total choices are 3 not four. So there is a 33% chance you choose 25%. 3 choices, you can only choose 1, the percent chance is 33%
And 25% cannot be right because the answer for 25% is duplicated, so there is a greater than 25% chance you could choose it.
It's 50% you brainlets, it's either right or wrong. The question is what is the chance that he will be right, not what the probability of him picking the right answer is. Y'all can't read but wanna do math ayy shiggidy
Depends on what the showwriters think is the right answer.
Can't be 0%, can't have two right answers.
C 50% final answer.
But then it's 25%
which 25%?
and as there are 2 25s, that makes the actual answer 50%
and if you selected randomly from the 4 answers you would select 50% 25% of the time so the answer is 25%.
its an invalid question
Maybe it's invalid as a question, however one answer is more correct than the rest.
>can't have two right answers.
Why not?
That is outside the format of the game. The game features in many countries for many years. At no point does it present more than 1 right answer.

The game rules. Stop trying to be clever.
Also logically the question ins unanswerable.

There's a 50% chance you will select the right 25% option
The answer is 25% - Even though two options show 25%, only one of the four options is correct, A B C or D, so basically you ignore the numbers in the box. A random guess of four options is 25%.
Two answers are 25%, therefore odds are 2-1 you get it right or 50%, C

The answer is I kill the host
33 percent. There are only 3 answers on the board, it doesn't matter that there are 4 choices since one of them is duplicated.
A, C, and D are all plausible answers, so we may infer that the real correct answer would actually be 75%. HOWEVER, because 75% is not a possible answer there is no correct answer, so the correct answer is B.
>hurr durr use self reference create paradox me smart
It's a paradox you fricking morons
It's 0%. 50% and 25% + 25% are the exact same value.
This one is tough. If you get it right and it's 0%, then it's not 0%. You randomly pick an answer. It's a mindfrick, this puzzle.
If I jump off a cliff there's a 99% chance I'll die.
But because there are only two possible outcomes (I die or I live) it means I actually have 50% chance of surviving.

You have to use the 50/50 joker and if C and B remains then it would be possible.
It's 0%
It's not if that's the answer
Dumbasses, the correct answer is 1/3 but that's not an option so 0% is the answer which is the refutation of the other answers and has a 1/3 chance of being picked.
You have a 25% chance of picking that at random, you FRICKING moron

But then if it's 0% you wouldn't be able to get a right answer.
bags of sand

It's a logical paradox created by problems with the English language. The answer is to genocide the English.
All the answers are correct. Therefore there is a 100% chance, which incidentally is also what you get if you add up all 4 answers.
