Correct answer is B >buh-buh-but if B is correct, that means it is actually a 25% chance!
But if it's a 25% chance, then it has to be both A and D, which means there's actually a 50% chance so it's C, but if it's C then there's a 50% chance, continue ad infinitum
Therefore no matter which answer you pick, it is rendered wrong by the act of choosing it, so there must in fact be a 0% chance.
But if it's B then that is a correct answer meaning 1 in 4 answers is correct, so you have a 25% chance of choosing it correctly. So this >But if it's a 25% chance, then it has to be both A and D, which means there's actually a 50% chance so it's C, but if it's C then there's a 50% chance, continue ad infinitum
All continues to apply. It is a troll question that's deliberately designed to rule-out any answer to itself.

Of course it's IKEA. Why the FRICK would you be in a kitchen if you're on a trip? Not only that, it's a kitchen you cannot afford, so if they cannot afford that then there's no fricking way they can afford to travel to London, Paris, or Rome. Anyone upset by this is filtered.
>There is a 50% of randomly picking it.
Which implies the answer is C, however if it's C then the answer has to be 25% so A or D, but if it's A or D there's a 50% chance of randomly picking it, which implies the answer is C however if it's C then the answer has to be 25% so A or D, but if it's A or D there's a 50% chance of randomly picking it, which implies the answer is C however if it's C then the answer has to be 25% so A or D, but if it's A or D there's a 50% chance of randomly picking it, which implies the answer is C however if it's C then the answer has to be 25% so A or D, but if it's A or D there's a 50% chance of randomly picking it, which implies the answer is C however if it's C then the answer has to be 25% so A or D

If 50% is the correct answer you only have a 25% chance of randomly selecting it so it can't be the right answer.

how can 50% be the correct answer if it is only 1 option out of 4 and you are picking at random? That cannot be true so 50% cannot be the answer.

Regarless of how many options there are, the chance of selecting the correct one is 50%. Either it is chosen or it isn't.
This a rolling contradiction. Basically > it should be A or D, but it cant be bother because its there twice > so it'd make it C > but it can't be both options combined, you can't be both A or D, but also C. > but it also cant be B because it's an internal contradiction. you cannot have 0% chance of happening, if in fact B is 1 or 4 options ( 25%)
"Either you are right or you aren't" doesn't tell you the probability that tells you the number of outcomes. I thought you were joking but I think you might actually be moronic.
It can't be 0% because if it were right it would be 25%.
It can't be 50% because 0% is an option and none are correct
it cant be 25% because its 50% of the selection
they all contradict, that is my final answer
the answer comes in levels
the question is multiple choice, with 4 choices, so for a normal question this means you have a 25% chance of being correct.
however, since 25% is there twice, this means you have a 50% chance of picking the correct answer
but now the correct answer is 50%, and since it is only there once, you only have a 25% chance of picking it, so the answer is 25%
but since 25% is there twice, the answer reverts to 50%
this would repeat forever
a correct answer cannot be found, as you loop around two incorrect answers for eternity
so the answer cannot be 25% or 50%, since those answers disprove themselves
(at this point you could say the answer is 0% as all others are wrong and one must be right)
since there is no correct answer, then the chance of you being correct is 0%. The answer is B: 0% >inb4 this means the answer is 25%
yes but that answer is also incorrect, and so the chance of you being correct is still 0% >inb4 this means the answer is 25%
actually frick this
actually dont frick this yet, i had an idea
so the answer keeps looping through 25% to 50% to 25% forever
and also loop through 25% to 0% to 25% forever
so at any given point, the answer is either 25% OR it is 0%/50% at the same time
therefore, since 25% is there twice, and 0%/50% are there twice, then at no matter at which temporary point the answer is at, there is a 50% chance of getting the correct answer
Is this un-answerable since it is recursive?
If you say it is 0% then you have to be wrong since 0% is an answer so it must be 25% since there are 4 questions. 25% is not correct because there are two 25% options which means it must be 50%. 50% cannot be the correct answer because for the previous statement to be true the answer has to be 25%. So if its not 25% and not 50% then it must be 0%, which can't be right because 0% is an option...
Regarless of how many options there are, the chances of choosing the correct answer is (randomly or otherwise) is 50%. Either the correct answer is chosen or it isn't.
It doesn't matter how many options there are. The chance of choosing the correct answer is always 50%. Either it's chosen or it isn't.

You're complicating things. The number of options is irrelevant. Whether the guess is "random" or calculated is irrelevant. The number of ways to be "wrong" is irrelevant. The fact remains that whichever answer is chosen will either be correct or incorrect. It can be no other way.

okay but what does that have to do with your % chance of correctly guessing?
This is a classic paradox known as the "random answer paradox" or the "liar paradox." The paradox arises because if you randomly choose an answer, you have a 25% chance of selecting any specific option (A, B, C, or D). However, if you choose 25%, you create a contradiction because if it's correct, then it must be incorrect as stated in the problem.
This creates a self-referential loop, making the question inherently paradoxical. It's a form of the well-known liar paradox where a statement refers to itself in a way that creates a logical contradiction.
In essence, there is no consistent answer to this question, and it highlights the limitations and challenges in dealing with self-referential or paradoxical statements.
There are four answer choices, so if one were choosing at random under normal circumstances, there would be a 25% chance of being correct. However, the answer choices themselves lead to a paradox.
If you were to consider 25% as the correct answer, you'd have to pick between A and D, which splits the probability, making each choice actually a 12.5% chance of being right. This inconsistency indicates that 25% can't be the correct answer. If you consider 50% as the correct answer, it only appears once (in C), but since we've established that the 25% answers are not valid, it can't be 50% either. Normally, you would have a 1 in 4 chance (25%) of picking the right answer randomly, which contradicts the 50% option. Finally, if you consider 0% as the correct answer, it suggests that there is no chance of picking the right answer randomly. However, by including it as an option, it contradicts itself because if you pick B and it's correct, then there was a chance to pick the right answer, which would not be 0%.
This is a paradoxical question designed to create a circular logic, and any attempt to solve it using the given choices leads to a contradiction. Thus, there isn't a consistent logical answer to this question with the information and structure provided. It's a trick question often used to illustrate the quirks of self-reference and probability in logic puzzles.
>it can't be B because B is less than A and D >but it can't be C because C is more than B >so since A is equal to D and they're both greater than B, then the answer is obviously C
Or that's what a moron would think, but it's a trick question because: >25% is 50% of 50%, so the answer is actually B
The absolute state of the education system.
if 0% was correct there would be a 25% chance of it being the correct answer which makes A or D the correct answers which makes C the correct answer that will infinite loop back to A or D being correct.

But if 0% is the right answer, then it is wrong
My moronic calculations resulted in 75% which is not on the list. I'm drunk.
So even by picking the correct answer, you pick the wrong answer? Sounds like a 0% chance of being correct to me
That's not fair.
that's a good point, but I think the correct answer would swap back and forth infinitely still.
Technically thats a paradox, but math is for gays.
You’re forgetting that this is in the context of a multiple choice so if 0% is right then it isn’t because it would also be 25%
Not if I don't choose it randomly.
50%
4! = 1.2.3.4=24
The most approximate answer is 25%
25% at a base of 1 in 4 is the correct answer if it were there once. This is the key to ruining the question is putting 25 on there two times.
C. 50%
all answers are contradicted by other answers.
Correct answer is B
>buh-buh-but if B is correct, that means it is actually a 25% chance!
But if it's a 25% chance, then it has to be both A and D, which means there's actually a 50% chance so it's C, but if it's C then there's a 50% chance, continue ad infinitum

All continues to apply. It is a troll question that's deliberately designed to rule-out any answer to itself.
There’s only one correct choice out of 4 so it’s 25%. Either A or D is wrong.
The chances of choosing the correct answer remain 50%, regardless of how many choices there are.

There is a 1 in 4 chance youll get the right answer, the answer itself doesnt change those odds. So its one of the 25s
Either you get the right answer or you don't. A 50% chance.
>one of the 25s
>2 out of 4
>50%
Either 25 is right or it isnt. That makes right plus wrong plus the other 2 answers. That makes it a 1 in 4 chance still
If 50% is the right answer then there's only a 25% chance of randomly picking it.
It's a paradoxical. There is no correct answer.
Either it is randomly picked or it isn't. There is a 50% of randomly picking it.

If the answer is 50%, then that is the answer! lol
If 50% is the correct answer you only have a 25% chance of randomly selecting it so it can't be the right answer.
If 50% is the correct answer then it is the correct answer! lol
how can 50% be the correct answer if it is only 1 option out of 4 and you are picking at random? That cannot be true so 50% cannot be the answer.
Regarless of how many options there are, the chance of selecting the correct one is 50%. Either it is chosen or it isn't.
the 25% options don't count for one another. they're separate answers, even though they are labelled identically.

Sorry Chad. I'll post a thread about the next goyflix show just right now as an excuse.
The 25s dont exclude each other, you either pick one of them or the other. There are still 4 answers at the end of the day
That would imply there are 3 choices, leaving a 33% chance.

Ok Cinemaphile. Youve used your 50/50 lifeline. Whats say you now?
It can't be 0% because if it were right it would be 25%.
It can't be 50% because 0% is an option and none are correct
it cant be 25% because its 50% of the selection

The chances of chosing the correct answer are 50%. Either the correct answer is chosen or it isn't. Very simple.

It’s more likely it isn’t.
It's either chosen or it isn't.
