@KeeperofReal16 @lporiginalg The answer is 0 and nothing else. Do an experiment if you don't believe me.

@lporiginalg Undefined. The question is asking an externalized question about itself, which isn't rational.

@Sibahie @lporiginalg The problem is well defined and the answer is 0.

@lporiginalg You cannot use your expected answer as a parameter in the equation. Just like in excel, it becomes circular. So this is not a valid question.

@AdamTilinger @lporiginalg The answer is 0 and nothing else. Do an experiment if you don't believe me.

@lporiginalg I think every answer can be right. A random selection function does not necessarily have to have an equal distribution.

@_R_Bo_ @lporiginalg It is not a paradox. The correct answer is 0. It would have been a paradox if, for instance, option b had been 0 instead of 60%.

@lporiginalg I would just cross off every answer, since there is no correct answer. 🤣 It’s a paradox, people! 🙄

@_Taka_Prawda_ @lporiginalg The problem is what it is, not what you want it to be.

@lporiginalg the test is incorrect, because it is missing the answer 100%

@grok @emeraald @lporiginalg You are contradicting yourself. There is a consistent answer and that answer is 0.

This is a self-referential paradox with no consistent answer. - Assume correct = 25%: 2/4 options match, so random chance = 50% (contradicts). - Assume correct = 50%: 1/4 options match, so random chance = 25% (contradicts). - Assume correct = 60%: 1/4 options match, so random chance = 25% (contradicts). Thus, chance of randomly picking correctly = 0% (none fit).

@AndrewW89337211 @lporiginalg It is not a paradox. The correct answer is 0. It would have been a paradox if, for instance, option b had been 0 instead of 60%.

@lporiginalg It’s paradoxical but the best answer is 25% since the question format implies there is only one correct answer. 1/4 =0.25. It is also correct if you believe 50% is the correct answer since there’s only 1/4 option that’s 50%

@AdamAutomates @lporiginalg It is not a paradox. The correct answer is 0. It would have been a paradox if, for instance, option b had been 0 instead of 60%.

@lporiginalg It’s a paradox. 25% appears twice, making your odds 50%. But if 50% is correct, there’s only one of it making your odds 25% again. Every answer contradicts itself. No correct answer exists.

@MilitantAI @lporiginalg What are you trying to say?

@Simsalladbim @lporiginalg

@WinstonTaboo @lporiginalg It is not a paradox. The correct answer is 0. It would have been a paradox if, for instance, option b had been 0 instead of 60%.

@lporiginalg Wow great paradox.

@MilitantAI @lporiginalg We do chose at random, thats stated in the problem. Most of what you say is nonsense. The correct answer is 0. Do an experiment if you don't believe me.

You need to understand the causal order and the ontological primitive of the question in relation to itself. If you pick an answer to the question at random, what is the chance you will be correct? 25% Because if you pick at random you have a 50% chance of choosing 25% at random, thus the answer is 50% when chosen at random. But we aren't choosing at random, we're determining the answer, which is 50%, which at random you only have 25% chance to pick.

@TinaAzureM @Uncle_Chud @itjohnstone @lporiginalg It is neither a paradox nor malformed. The problem is well defined. The correct answer is 0. It would have been a paradox if, for instance, option b had been 0 instead of 60%.

@Uncle_Chud @itjohnstone @lporiginalg it's not a paradox, it's a malformed question, just because the options are wrong doesn't mean it's a paradox A paradox has to be true in some way, which that question isn't

@Uncle_Chud @itjohnstone @lporiginalg It is not a paradox. The correct answer is 0. It would have been a paradox if, for instance, option b had been 0 instead of 60%.

@itjohnstone @lporiginalg there's no correct answer because it's a paradox

@mayank5885 @lporiginalg It is not a paradox. The correct answer is 0. It would have been a paradox if, for instance, option b had been 0 instead of 60%.

@lporiginalg This is the ultimate self-owning question 😂 If 25% is right → then it's actually 50% (two options). If 50% is right → then it's 25% (only one option). If 60% is right → still 25%. Conclusion: 0% chance you're ever correct. Pure paradox fuel.

@K1ngCh0nk @lporiginalg It is clearly defined. The answer is 0.

@lporiginalg The question isn’t clearly formulated but if we assume it means what everyone thinks it means a then 0%

@nico_akd19 @lporiginalg It is not a paradox. The correct answer is 0. It would have been a paradox if, for instance, option b had been 0 instead of 60%.

@lporiginalg It's a paradox, the question is its own question so the options won't ever answer it

@scholar1013 @lporiginalg Then it becomes a true paradox.

@lporiginalg replace option b with 0%, there can be more fun

@AMilitantAgnost @OketchCastro @Bregisdog @lporiginalg There is no "context". There is a well defined problem with one solution.

@Simsalladbim @OketchCastro @Bregisdog @lporiginalg No, it's a test question, you need to see it the way the author did. Or you get the wrong answer, No answer is a wrong answer. But you're free to get a ❌ if you insist on your context.

@AMilitantAgnost @OketchCastro @Bregisdog @lporiginalg Do the experiment. Isn't it obvious that you will get 0% in 0% of the tries as there is no such option? You get 50% 25% of the time, 25% 50% of the time and 60% 25% of the time. So once again: if you don't believe that, do the experiment.

@BasedSaxon_88 @lporiginalg It is not a paradox. The correct answer is 0. It would have been a paradox if, for instance, option b had been 0 instead of 60%.

@lporiginalg It's a paradox. It cannot be answered.
