    Ummm, this is so confusing.

    Random makes it 50/50

    Circular logic. There is no right answer.

    33%, there's only three choices.

    I was about to say that, since there is 4 choices, you have a 25% chance of getting it right. But its listed twice. 60% make no sense at all. Therefore, the answer is 50%.

    but you aren't making a random choice if you think it thru like that..

    Well, given four choices, the odds of arbitrarily selecting the right answer is 1/4 or 25%. However, since two of the choices are identical, the odds are 2/4, or 50%. But since 50% is listed only once, we're back to 1/4 or 25%. But since 25% is listed twice, the odds are 2/4, or 50%.

    I hope that cleared it up for everybody.

    B if you randomly pick and answer always pick B

  • Oct. 28, 2011 6:34 a.m. z31maniac SuperDork

    Most people select C when they don't know the answer.

    Impossible to answer.

    Awesome question.

    Interesting. 50% is the correct answer, but only one of the choices is 50% (B), so your chances of randomly selecting B are 1 in 4, or 25%. So I think either A or D are correct.

    on a scale of one to ten, that question is silly

    Here you go. There is no answer because there is no "question." Wait. Is everybody just waiting for some goofball to state the obvious?

    Yeah, I went around in a circle for a bit like RedT2 demonstrated before I sort of came to this conclusion...

    Speaking of WAG's at at multiple choice tests, did anyone ever have success with "Abacab"?

    I have no chance of getting any math problem right.
