Answer 1

Hurts your eyes right?

Answer 2

is this supposed to be confusing because my brain is hurting

Answer 3

Dang. That's a good question.

Answer 4

The correct answer isn't in the choices. The correct answer is:

95.561230978546321468795%

Answer 5

it is %0% because you might be wrong or you might be right.

Answer 6

oops it's 50% A and D are both correct.
because there are 4 choices in the question but there are 2 possible correct answer, and of course we are just to choose one among the choices

Answer 7

^ what he said

Answer 8

so 50% is wrong?

Answer 9

Actually, it is 50% but for a different reason. Since A and D are the same, you must eliminate those because there cannot be two right answers. So, you are basically choosing between B and C, so there is a 1/2 chance.

Answer 10

ok.

A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

Answer 12

why 25%

Answer 13

It would be 25%, but there are two of them.

Answer 14

no it's 50% because there is a possibility you might be right.

Answer 15

I'd rather not make your brains melt so I'll close it

Answer 16

our brain can't melt.

Answer 17

no it's ok

Answer 18

When you choose an answer to that question, you choose 1/4.

1/4 = 25%

Answer 19

the number of choices doesn't matter. Because there are only two possibilities. Wrong or right.

Answer 20

ther is no answer.
ok, so first, 1 out of 4 is 25%, but since there are two answers with 25%, it becomes 50%. But, if the answer is b.50%, then there is only one answer so it becomes 25% (answer-ception)

Answer 21

back and forth between 25% and 50%

Answer 22

my conclusion is, there is no answer.

Answer 23

I feel like if you made a tree diagram or something it would come out to a nice answer.

Answer 24

ok fine it's 25%.

Answer 25

no answer.

Answer 26

or there is no answer.

Answer 27

it is like this

The statement below is false.
The statement above is true.

Answer 28

I'm right because I learned this before. it's 50%.

Answer 29

yes, so you chose answer B) 50%. but then there is only one answer, so it goes back to 25%.

Answer 30

are you dividing 50% by 2?

Answer 31

no, there is only one answer choice that says 50%, so the chance of getting it right (answer B) is 25%.

Answer 32

so you're saying the chance of getting the answer right is 25%. How do you know that?

Answer 33

What I'm saying is that it goes back and forth.
So after that, the probability goes back to 25%. But since there are two answers with the answer "25%" (A and D), the probability becomes 50% again.
So there is no answer.

Answer 34

the answer is 50%.

Answer 35

@smored, your probability of getting the correct answer is actually 25% if and only if the choices are identical. So it would really be 1/4. In this case, there are 2 right answer. So among four choices, you have 2 chances of getting right. So 2/4 = 1/2 = 50% probability.

Answer 36

thank you @Yttrium

Answer 37

So your answer becomes B. 50%
So the probability of getting answer B is 25%.

Answer 38

you don't divide it.

Answer 39

@j2lie , what is the probability that you are going to get the right answer (in this case, B)?

Answer 40

actually you do.

Answer 41

yes you'll get 50%.

Answer 42

the answer is 25%, and the probability of getting 25% among the choices (A or D) is 2 out of 4, therefore 50%

Answer 43

the choices matter?

Answer 44

The chance of getting B is 25% (so answer goes back to 25%), then the chance of getting A or D is 50% (answer goes back to 50%). Then, the chance of getting B.(50%) is 25% (so answer goes back to 25%), then the chance of getting A or D is 50% (answer goes back to 50%).
Now do you understand my explanation?

Answer 45

i don't understand you cause you're saying 25%.

Answer 46

What I'm saying is that there is no answer.

Answer 47

there is an answer to every problem. There's no way there is no answer.

Answer 48

Ok then. The answer is undefined.

Answer 49

Answer 50

Answer 51

No, your mind got blown.
