If we choose A, B, C, or D

or

If we choose 0%, 25%, 50%

Obvious troll, let it die
Don't fail me /sci/

>self-referencing question

Godel would like a word with you, as would Tarski

Here is the answer forever.

It is B

It cannot be A or D because if you were to choose A, why not choose D, and if you choose D why not choose A? Because they have Identical answers, it doesn't make sense to choose either one. So you have a choice between B or C. A 50% chance, so the answer is B.

Hadn't thought of that, thanks.

My reasoning was "You're either right, or you're wrong. 50/50."
It's like winning the lotto, either you win, or you don't.

>>1006800
4 situations assuming the answer is 50%
Pick a= wrong
b=right
c=wrong
d=wrong

25%=50% hurr

Tough one.

There are 3 answers-0%, 25%, and 50%. That means I have a 33.33...% of picking the correct one. However, 33.33...% isn't listed, so I have a 0% of picking it. That would make 0% the correct answer, but there is a 33.33...% that I will pick it...

>at random
>think it through

reading comprehension fail

THE ANSWER IS C BECAUSE THERE IS NO FUCKING QUESTION.

>>1006810
this

The percentages are their to trick you. The answer has nothing to do with the numbers it gives you.

>>1006829
>there*

50%. either you get it or you don't.

>>1006842

The logic most people fall into:
C - Cannot be correct because it contradicts itself
A or D - Cannot be correct as it would mean 50%
B - Cannot be correct because you have a 25% chance

The problem is:
The numbers it gives you are part of the question, not the possible answers.

This question is not answerable by normal statistics ITS A TRICK QUESTION WHY DO YOU ALWAYS FALL FOR IT

OP here, feeling smug

>>1006879
It makes me sad how nobody knows what trolling even means.

>>1006800

Close, but not quite. There are 4 options, which means the odds of choosing the correct one 1/4, 25%. There are 2 answers which satisfy that, so 50% of the available answers are correct. 50% is B, which is why B is the correct answer. If either A or D were to change, then the one which remained 25% would be correct.

>>1006888
the act of b being the answer changes the probability back to 25% therefore making the question unanswerable by your logic

>>1006771
>>1006771
If only they had listened.

>>1006888
no because the probability of actually picking b is 25% but by picking b you are stating that the odds of picking it is 50%. You have to think this all the way through, there is no answer

>>1006887

The answer is 25%. Not A, not D, but 25%.
The numbers it gives you ARE NOT THE POSSIBLE ANSWERS, they're part of the question.

>implying there's a 50/50 chance of winning the lottery

No correct answer exists b/c the question posed is ill defined and produces an infinite loop of contradictory answers. NOW GIVE ME MY 10 INTERNETS YOU asspirate.
Also: IF YOU ARE A SCIENTIST sage THIS!

This is a fun question to ask on 4chan because everybody is always so sure they are right.

>>1006947
But there is. Think of the outcomes of the lottery. Either you win it or you don't right?
So, the fact that there are only two outcomes possible means that there is a 50/50 chance you'll win!

B. Because any fucking time you decide on something you have a 50% chance of it being or not
Stop overthinking shit with it being 25% or 0%

25% chance

>>1006975
See;
>>1006928
Despite that, your own logic is flawed.

theyre all right

>>1006986
Your logic is flawed dickwad
If you think it is 25% that means that both A and C are correct which means that there is more than a 25% chance of getting it

>>1007002
You failed to read >>1006928 or you're just plain dense.

It would be 100%, but that's not an option, so it's C, 0%.

>>1007002
and
>>1006986
which proofs
>>1006953
qed

>>1006928
So the answer is you have a twenty five percent of randomly picking the answer.

1st grade logic time
A=correct
B=wrong
C=wrong
D=correct
=2/4=1/2=50%

THERE IS NO CORRECT ANSWER THIS QUESTION WAS DESIGNED AS A SELF CONTRADICTION HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT AND WHY DOES EVERYONE ASSUME THAT ALL MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS HAVE CORRECT ANSWERS

YES I MAD, SAGING SO HARD

>>1007032
I am with you sci/bro I don't understand why they ignore that.

>>1007032

You're failing to realize the numbers it gives you are part of the question, not the possible answers.

>>1007230
so what are the possible answers, just out of curiosity if you could list them for me please??

>>1007245
Oh fuck me... I'm out of here.
