A. 25%

1 question at random: 100%
2: 50%
so 4 questions at random would be 25%

i have a feeling this is going to make me feel stupid somehow

e: actually 50%, two questions are the same answer

But if it was 50%, there would only be one correct answer, meaning the chance of guessing it is 25%.

Letter C, because I'm so unlucky anyway.

[SgtDaemon]

My mind is totally forgeted

Never loving ever again going to BL forums before maths homework

[_Rave_]

letter C because C is the most common answer on tests

[BanishedLetters]

oh god this is so confusing

I tough this was a thread on how often you answer multiple choice questions right.

[Doomonkey]

Well, if there is random probability, then 0% can never be the correct answer, but that means it is the correct answer. But that means it isn't. and so on

I'll choose 0% because at least half the time I will be right. Whereas with the other answers you are right 0% of the time.

[Dissolve]

it's 0%

There's only 25% chance of me picking 50% and there's a 50% chance of me picking 25%

[dkamm65]

it's 0%

There's only 25% chance of me picking 50% and there's a 50% chance of me picking 25%

But there's an answer for 0%, so the probability of picking 0% at random is 25%. That means 0% isn't correct.

[hankyje]

0%, since there is no right answer.

[dkamm65]

0%, since there is no right answer.

So C is the right answer because there's no right answer?

[Wynd_Fox]

Yeah, that seems illogical to me.

[Dissolve]

But there's an answer for 0%, so the probability of picking 0% at random is 25%. That means 0% isn't correct.

So then there's no right answer.
