It is.

IF you choose an answer to this question at random (I'm assuming they mean from the 4 options given) WHAT is the chance you will be correct?
I'm thinking the correct answer is not among the options.

It's a paradox.
Assuming you may only choose one answer out of four, then your chances are 25%
But there are two answers of 25% then you would be randomly correct 50% of the time, making B the correct answer. But you would only choose B 25% of the time so it is incorrect...

There is no correct answer.

^Yes, I just googled the maths forums too. There is no correct answer, in which case the possibility is 0%.

Anyway, its a paradox, n'est pas?

If one of the answers was 0% though, what would be the answer then?

That question is actually answered in the thread I linked to. I can't be arsed to read through it again. It's in there though. Something to do with fixed point mathematics.

If 0 was a choice and 0 was correct then there would be a 25% chance except that in that case 0 wouldn't be correct.

Take the blue pill. It's a Kobayashi Maru with a slight case of two weevils on the side.

Ah no, Mao, If 0% was one of the answers, you'd then have a 37.5% chance of getting the right answer, but as 37.5% is not one of the answers, the answer is really 0%, but as we just found out it can not be 0% if 0% is one of the answers. .... ..its a paradox. If 37.5% was one of the answer, they that would be the answer.

No, it wouldn't be. Read the thread on the maths forum I linked to.

Here's one. Genuine question with a genuine answer...


Is this a question?

Yes, if this is an answer.

Well done. You have passed the Oxford University entrance examination....

I just worked it out with a piece of paper though -so I have to read something? Can't you tell us ?

What does "it" mean in the sentence "What time is it?"?

No, you can read for yourself.

You needed a piece of paper?

If you have 2 correct answers in a self-referencing 4-way mutually exclusive multiple choice question then the probability of choosing the correct answer is 0% so the correct answer does not appear in the option list in this case.

Ignore the a, b, c, d and its quite obvious its an unanswerable question

Edit,, you thick kunts
