It's on a test.

if you chose at random without looking, the best chance of being correct is 25%.
the answer is C though.

One does not simply trolololol into Mordor.

Well if you are picking at random any of them are right.

B. 50% because there are two 25% answers.

If you can't see the answers and choose completely randomly, the chances of getting it right are 25%.

edit. oh well, derp. There are two correct answers. 50% then.

edit2. -blam!- it's impossibru!

If you're a zombie and you know it, bite your friends.

The Flood Theory of Deterioration: q(p)=(qi)e^(-p/r)

Where q(p) is the quality of the thread as a function of p posts, (qi) is the inital quality of the first post, p is the amount of posts and r is the e-peen of the original poster.

None of them, because it's a paradox and doesn't have an answer. 25% isn't right because there are 2 answers of 25%. This means the correct answer would be 50%. However, since there is only one option of 50% that means it would go back to 25%.

So there is no correct answer.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

What is OP on about? It's 0%. The answer is not on there.

B. 50% because there are two 25% answers.

But if B is correct then there is a 25% chance that you randomly get the correct answer.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

I know everything, I've just forgotten most of it.

**Devil's advocate of the Flood. My posts may or may not represent my personal opinion, I just enjoy disagreeing with people. None of my posts are representative of the official view of the Navy or any government agency.

The correct answer is 0%, and it is not a paradox because your answer is not limited to the 4 options. The question is, what is the probability of randomly choosing the correct answer. And since none of the answers are correct, you now know the correct answer is 0%.
