Thinking critically is for nerds.

The answer's B right? There is a 25% chance of guessing something when there are four possibilities but since there are two 25%'s there is a one in two chance you will pick one of them making the answer 50%.

Has anybody ever verified an answer to one of these questions after posting them?

Nope!

That would imply you got the correct answer, thus 0% would be wrong

it's not solvable

Try harder.

If there is one answer, in this case, B, 50% is no longer the correct answer.

I was thinking that there's no answer to this question. Then I made a google search because of insecurity.

So, this seems to be the right answer: Not solvable.

Mhm. Thinking is overrated. I'll care more when I can hate my problems through.

I haven't read anything about logic beyond the rudimentary (and I'm not an analytical), so I'm probably going to fuck this up. Here we go.


25% - (A D) 1/4
50% - (B) 2/4,
0% - (C) 0/4,

I'm assuming that the random choice has a probability of 1/4 and that there is only a single letter to be chosen.

25% seems the logical choice, but there are two 25%s which means that there is a 50% chance of landing on 25%, leading to a contradiction.
50% assumes that there are two answers (2/4) that are correct when it itself (1/4) is isolated as an answer, leading to a contradiction.
0% implies that an answer is impossible, but itself is an answer that has a 25% chance of being chosen, leading to a contradiction.

Each answer leads to an insoluble contradiction. There is an antagonism between what the right answer is and the probability of choosing the right answer. There is no proper answer. This sentence is a lie.

C because there's no question in the first place.
