The question is both self-aware and mutated. We have to burn it with fire before it learns to replicate.
Around 33%?
C) none of the possible answers is correct if picked randomly so you have 0% chance to get it right
That makes 0% the correct answer, which means you had a 25% chance…
Nono, see your chance of picking it at random is 0% because none of the answers are right - but if you pick it intentionally, then it’s the correct answer. galaxy brain meme
If you were to pick at random it would be 25% given there are 4 options being. However, that isn’t the same as the question about the question, which you see 25% percent twice meaning you could Be randomly right twice actually, so the answer to this question about a question is b.) 50%.
No, because if you choose randomly there’s only a 25% chance of choosing B.
But if your answer is 25% there is a 50% chance of randomly getiing it right.
G.E.B.
Help, my mind is caught in a paradoxical loop!
Cave Johnson prevails again!
Going with D. It’d be 25% for a normal question, but since it’s the second 25% this provides some evidence that I read all the answers.
2 out of 4 answers are the same, and if we say that 25% is correct then you actually have a much higher chance of selecting the correct one. I’m sure there’s some statistics crap to say it’s not 50%, but if half your random choices are correct then that seems right to me. So now 50% is correct, but it’s only 1 in 4 and the odds go back to 25%. So now it’s 0%, except that that’s ALSO on there so now the correct answer is 25% again. The problem is that ever single time 25% becomes the correct answer you now have a 50% chance to get it right if chosen randomly and it’s wrong all over again.
Yep, that’s definitely the thought process the question-asker intended. I’m sidestepping that slightly: if an answer is chosen completely at random then one should be able to completely ignore the text of the question and answer, and roll a four-sided die, leading to 25%. I agree that strategy assumes that there’s a single correct answer. And the typical expectation of a multiple choice question is to only have a single correct answer. The question itself says “the answer” not “answer(s)”, that’s perhaps a partial support of the expectation of a single correct answer. But yes, my assumption that there’s only a single correct answer, while reasonable in general, could be considered flawed considering the nature of the question itself.
The text says “the answer” and 25% having two ways to get to it does not mean there are two answers. You can’t just say you’re avoiding assumptions and then make more assumptions that are even more outlandish.
Ultimately, you can’t really side-step how impossible it is to answer it correctly. The answer is to write in “e) fuck off”
If this wasn’t an extra credit question the correct answer is to drop the class.

🦆 this useless 💩
Mathmatical riddles. Kinda like turds that taste like skittles. News flash the people in charge don’t know what they are doing.
