Subject: What is the chance you will get this multiple-choice question correct?

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Isn't it supposed to be 75% instead of 0% to complete the circle?

I'm not even going to guess, though if I had too, I would say 25%.

0% because there's no real answer.

FUUUUUUU I VOTED 25% SHIIIIIIIIIII-----

Mreh.

100% because I know the answer is 25% and the second 25% is clearly an error which should be replaced with a 75%.

Deal with it.

A or D: There's two 25%'s. Now, you might think that with four answers, only one being right, the answer would be 25%, but since there's two of them, the probability goes up to 50%, making the answer wrong the moment you choose it.

B: If you noticed that 25% is the normal probability, and you noticed there's actually two of them, then you might think you're being clever by picking 50%. You're not. Since there's only one answer with 50%, the actual probability assuming that answer is correct would go down to 25%, once again making the answer wrong the moment you choose it.

C: 0%. There is none of the answers are right. While technically true, it is also technically wrong. It's a "this statement is false" paradox. Since all other answers have been proven inaccurate, then this is the only answer left. If you're wrong, then there's a 0% chance of getting the right answer, making that answer right, forcing the real answer to shift once again to 25%, and then to 50%, and then to 0%, rinse and repeat.

Statistically speaking, there is a 50% chance anything and everything will happen.


Here we go again....

Yes, I know my username is the 330th sequel to a terrible movie. You don't have to keep telling me.

The second 25% is not an error, it was intentionally placed there.

Obviously it's 50% since the correct answer is given twice.

This is a paradox hence all the poll choices are wrong, but I voted for 50% anyway.
