Go for the 50:50 lifeline and then pick C

>>212066180 (OP)

b. there's math, and there's my luck

>>212066180 (OP)
It’s B, 0%, because why the fuck should anything go right for me

>>212066180 (OP)
It's 50-50
you either answer right or you answer wrong

>>212066180 (OP)
B.
The answer is chosen random anyway
Randomly lands on A: 25% is wrong, because there are 2 25%'s which is 50%
Randomly lands on C: 50% is wrong, because landing on it is 25% chance, which is not 50%
Randomly lands on D: 25% is wrong, because there are 2 25%'s which is 50%
B: is correct; randomly landing on it is 25%, which is wrong, but that means 0% is right.

That boring answer is what retarded "intellectuals" that think they are clever always say, but everyone knows you're wrong.

>>212066180 (OP)
The answer is 0% because there will never be a right anwer, it's a paradox subject to interpretation.

E

>>212066421
But since 0% is actually one of the available answers, the chance of randomly selecting it cannot be 0%.

Normally it would be 25%, but as two answers are the same it is 50%. Faggots.

>>212066180 (OP)
Even though A and D show the same 25 percent they are actually different answers. In other words, A is an answer and D is a separate answer. So the correct choice would be C.

>>212066587
But if 50% is the right answer to that question, the chance to get it right would be 25%.

>>212066558
Yes, zero is also wrong, because like I said, there is no right answer. If zero was right, then there's a 25% chance of picking it. Zero is wrong. Every answer is wrong because they become wrong the minute you pick it.

But at least zero shows acceptance that you cannot win this retarded mind-game. It represents you taking the L and moving on.

No they aren't, it's the exact same answer. How is it not?

>>212066180 (OP)
It's an impossible question with those answers.

>>212066180 (OP)
The numbers are there to confuse you. Just look at the letters and using common sense answer the question.

>>212066180 (OP)
It is either b or c. I go with b if 50-50 doesn't remove b or c.

>>212066399
holy fuck
the first time I actually see someone answering it

>>212066895
I meant to say that I go with C if the 50-50 doesn't take either out.

>>212066917
i know he almost has me convinced

>>212066973
If you become convinced zero is the right answer, then the probability of landing on it is no longer zero. It's what we called a paradox kids.

Every answer is wrong.
Which means zero is right.
But if zero is right, then there IS a right answer.
Then the probability is no longer zero.
So zero is wrong.
But that means there is no right answer.
So zero is right.
etc etc

You cannot win in a paradox.

I can't win, but I can lunge at the host like a rabid chimp and eat his face while I rip off his nuts

>>212067050
so, c? it cant be b, because there's a correct answer. if a and d are separate answers, ie a is right if d is selected and vice versa, you have a 5050 chance. likewise if a and b are conclusive, it's collectively 5050.

>>212067510
If it's 50% then you have a 25% chance of landing on it, so it's no longer 50%.

The only winning move is not to play and lunging at the host like a rabid chimp while making ook ook sounds.

it's an old meme and a paradox, it's not a real screenshot and no answer is correct

>>212072362

>>212066180 (OP)
I choose a non-uniform random distribution such that all answers are correct.

>>212066301
Based. I tell people this all the time

>>212066180 (OP)
If it weren’t for the answers themselves, the correct answer would be 25%.
Because 25% is correct, and two of the answers are 25%, the odds increase to 50%.
Because 50% is correct, the odds drop back down to 25%.
Because the answer changes depending on the answer, making the correct answer incorrect, the odds are 0%.
BUT, if the odds are 0%, there’s a 25% chance you’d pick that randomly, which makes the answer 25%, which makes the answer 50%, which makes the answer 0%. Fuck.

>>212066180 (OP)
>people who don't understand basic math think this is a trick

>>212066180 (OP)
I would pick B
I think it's about "choosing at random", "being correct" not picking an existing correct answer, and a bit of meta reasoning
You can't be correct while picking at random, because of the paradox. Ok, so you have 0% to be correct, since you can't pick randomly the B answer and still be correct.
But now that you analysed the paradox, you are not choosing at random anymore, the setting of the paradox are no longer existing, you can pick 0% as the correct answer for the question.

>>212075392
Thanks for playing

>>212066558
There is no possibility of getting the "correct" answer because the question is a logical paradox. So, 0% is right, but answer B is "incorrect" under the rules of the game, since, there is no possibility of a "correct" answer. Its a monty hall problem with four goats.

>>212066180 (OP)
isnt the answer 33%?

>>212066180 (OP)
1 in 4 chance is 25%
but since 2 out of 4 are "25%", it's 50%
but if it's now 50%, there's only a 1 in 4 chance of picking that so we're back to 25%
this repeats infinitely so you can never get it right, so I guess it's 0%?

>>212076557
No, it's a recursive paradox. You have a 25% chance to select the right answer, however two answers are equivalent meaning you have a 50% chance to select the right answer.
However, selecting the C becomes a 25% chance because it's 1/4. Likewise getting B is a 25% chance.
A and D are equivalent but if they are wrong then you have only B or C as a correct answer but you may still land on A or D.
>>212077577
See above, you can't ever have 0% because to land on B is 1/4. It is a recursive paradox.

>>212077635
true, but "it's a recursive paradox" isn't an option, therefore your chances of picking it is 0%

>>212077766
But your chances of picking 0% as an answer are 25%.

>>212066180 (OP)
This is a famous paradoxical question designed as a logic puzzle. Let’s break it down.

The Question:

“If you choose an answer to this question at random, what is the chance that you will be correct?”

Answer options:
• A: 25%
• B: 0%
• C: 50%
• D: 25%

⸻

Step-by-step analysis:
• There are 4 answer choices, so a random choice would normally give you a 1 in 4 chance — i.e., 25%.
• But here’s the trick: two of the options are 25% (A and D).

This complicates things.

⸻

Let’s test the possibilities:

Suppose the correct answer is 25%:
• There are two answers (A and D) that say 25%.
• That means the chance of picking one of those randomly is 2 out of 4 = 50%.
• So if 25% were correct, then the chance of randomly choosing it would be 50%, not 25% — contradiction.

Suppose the correct answer is 50%:
• Only one answer says 50% (C).
• So the chance of picking it randomly is 1 in 4 = 25%, again a contradiction.

Suppose the correct answer is 0%:
• Only one option (B) says 0%, so chance of choosing it at random is 25%.
• But if the correct answer is 0%, then there’s no chance you pick the correct one — this seems to be the only option that doesn’t contradict itself.

⸻

Final Thought:

It’s a self-referential paradox. But if you’re forced to pick the most logically consistent answer, it’s:

B: 0%

Because if the chance of picking a correct answer is indeed 0%, and you pick randomly — you’re not going to pick the correct one. So it matches the question.

Answer: B — 0%.

>retarded AI doesn't understand the definition of a paradox

>>212077855
nvm i dont think it's 0% anymore, the jeet mcahine that can't count the number of R's in "strawberry" probably isn't right

>>212077961
>• Only one option (B) says 0%, so chance of choosing it at random is 25%.
>• But if the correct answer is 0%, then there’s no chance you pick the correct one — this seems to be the only option that doesn’t contradict itself.
It's own logic falls apart here. Not surprising since it's an old scifi meme that paradoxical loops is how you break an AI.

>>212077800

I would slowly read out the different answers like i'm thinking about them, and wait for my associate in the audience to cough
this will signal the correct answer
I will submit that answer, and win the one million dollars

>>212066180 (OP)
C right?

The correct answer is 25%, but you have a 2/4 chance to land on it.

>>212079260
How would you write out a 2/4 chance as a percentage?

>>212079824
50% that’s what I’m saying

This bait thread sucks. The Ikea one is much more engaging because the one in OP cannot be answered because if you pick 'C' then it isn't random. Or 'B'. It is unanswerable because as soon as you answer you've removed the randomisation.

It literally can’t be 0% since there is a right answer you fucking morons. 0% means it would be impossible.

Let clear this up.

In millionaire, there is 1 correct answer out of 4. Doesn’t matter the question, there can only be one right answer

I’ve armed you with knowledge. Try again

>>212067779
You have a 50% chance of hitting the correct formulation for correctness in Millionaire: 1 out of 4

Holy shit everyone in this thread is brain dead

>I'd like to ask the audience
>Phone a friend
>use 50/50
>Walk away with $100

That's how you do it

Another way to solve for you absolute caveman is by elimination. It can’t be 0 because of
>>212080377

And it can’t be 25% because there are two different answers with that same values and there can only be ONE correct answer in Millionaire.

Automatically you are left with C. Thanks for playing, don’t let the door hit you

>>212066668
It doesn't say the correct answer is random or that the answers have their percentages as their actual probabilities. It says you pick an answer at random. So 50% could be correct if 25% is the correct answer to whatever the corresponding question was

>>212066731
A and D are different letters. How is that hard to understand?

>>212066613
Assuming the correct answer is A/D, yes.
