68
60

but i think the correct answer should be 66,6

edit: i hope i didnt fail at being smart because i really sucked at maths :p
2 of the answers are completely the same so i dont add them but still see them as the same...they are one and the same.
the other 2 answers are seperate from each other.
because there isnt a difference between A and D that makes it 3 possibilities to answer, so 25% is 1/3 of possible answers.
BUT because it could be you hit for example D instead of A that makes it 2/3 of possible answers -> 2/3 66,6 %

i think i am so wrong, now that i've thought about it. :(
Parent
ya u are wrong:D
Parent
i am a good lover, i dont need maths anyway :D

all i need to know is 1 tit + another tit = 2 tits
Parent
gotta luv that attitude :p <3
Parent
I always lie.
Parent
Does it apply to this? Can't see how it would. Never had statistics though :)
Parent
Apply to what?
Anyway, the "I always lie" is never true. It can be false though. The truly paradoxal form would be "This statement is false", I think.
Parent
What the op posted. I got what you were saying. Just thought you meant that what he posted was one of those parodoxes and I didn't see how :)
Parent
You mean that the answer to the question (depending on what it is) would actually change the result? If so it doesn't have to be a paradox if you just pick a correct answer in advance and build the possibilities towards that afaik?
Parent
nm thats cheating, that wouldnt work :D
Parent
None, because none of them are correct.
nein, and neither is 60:D

the fact that uve got to chose only the 50% once makes it a 25% again.
Parent
Yeah figured. My answer then is that none of the answers are correct. ;)
Parent
ya its a trap man:s the question itself is wrong
Parent
Indeed. Well, at least it woke me and my brain up!
Parent
the reply i gave u at rnz answer was that 0% wud be incorrect aswell. just if u wonderd
Parent
yeah, but thats how I figured it was a copypaste (because he kept mentioning 0%, but yours had 60% :p).
Parent
What if you replace answer C) with 0%?
Parent
its still the same?


coz e) wud be automatically incorrect
Parent
All of them would still be incorrect I believe?

At school I was good at math, but that's half a year ago and it weren't really the most advanced math - so wouldn't surprise me if I fail here. :)
Parent
0% cant be. so u are not failing
Parent
If all of them were incorrect, the 0% would be correct ;)

I believe this is going to lead into some sort of a paradox within a paradox situation. We must go deeper!
Parent
yes thats the only way but u still have chances to guess it since uve put in there the 0% and u have the chance to guess it

so if u add e) as 0% e) is automatically incorrect, but if u erase it then 0% wud be the correct one, so its a paradox

at your edit: exactly!
Parent
Then 0% wouldnt be correct, because 0% isn't incorrect. :)))


This shit is disturbing. :D
Parent
the question is incorrect

if it was an open question the answer would be 1 in infinity
50%, I am winner
nein

if u believe u are right go ahead and elaborate
Parent
You will be correct or you wont = 50%
Parent
no hehe, anyway heres a story that u reminded me.

there was this teacher on a huge class for 300 ppl and he went to the board and drew a lil dot in it, he went to the other side of the class and in a serious intonation says: "what are the chances that im going to hit the tiny dot with my chalk? who ever guesses it he will get a top mark and he doesnt even need to attend any lesson"

everybody stayed quiet and then he starts laughing and says "its 50%! i'll hit it or i wont!"
Parent
What answer is correct and why?
none is right
chance of random picking 25 is 50%, of 50 and 60 25%
Parent
lol, so my brain is not dead
Parent
Theres no correct answer! Mind fuck as hell :D

moar journals like this pl0x!
50% because two of the answers are correct, the other two are incorrect.
Which two answers are correct?
Parent
A & D because of 25%

( 4 answer, so 1 chance out of 4 to be correct -> 25%
but as there is 2 answer with 25%, so you actually have 50% because 2 answer out of 4 are same )

hope you understood with my shit english :(
Parent
wrong, because u have two 25% that makes it 50% but u do not have two 50% u only got one...
Parent
nah, u didnt get my point:

you have 2 25%

and the answer is 25% ( 1 chance of 4 to answer right )

and because you have 2 25%

you have 2 choice about it, others are others %

so you have 50% of winning the answer ( 2 answer = 25% so 2 of 4 choice = 50% = half )
Parent
thats what i tought :d
Parent
how does a wrong answer keep you from picking it? ;)
Parent
mind is blown wtf
if you were to chose only from the given answers it would be imo d) 25% because then you are chosing from 4 possibilities, while when picking a you could also just be chosing it out of a motion, or simply because it was the first answer given :)
50%.
you either get it correct or you dont.
