Posted by kitty-cat on Nov 18, 2012 First comment!  Great teaser, I got it simply because I read too many trick brain teasers.I saw the name in the new teasers section and luckily glanced at the category before answering. I thought it was probability at first.  |

Posted by Quocalimar on Nov 24, 2012 bwuuuuuuuuuuuh. I got it wrong and still don;t get it after reading the answer. That was extremely clever. |

Posted by Viper on Nov 25, 2012 The correct answer is B. The question is phrased "IF you choose to answer this question at random." 50%! |
|
Posted by kitty-cat on Nov 28, 2012 But if the correct answer is B, then you DON'T have a 50% chance of getting it right. If the answer is 50%, then the answer is actually 25%, but then it would be 50, and it's an endless loop, a paradox. |

Posted by christiangrl on Nov 28, 2012 Thank you kitty. |

Posted by Thekid4 on Dec 05, 2012 Okay, I see the paradox, but why is the answer 0%? Shouldn't it be "there is no answer" or "paradox"? Either way, great teaser. |

Posted by sarah12lizbeth on Dec 08, 2012 I thought that as well, Viper. 50%. Hmmm...  |
