Initial thought is 33% but that's probably wrong.

I will be right 100 percent of the time. Mainly because the question is vague enough that I've determined that whatever I pick to be the answer is the ONLY answer. So fuck this question.

Are we to assume one of the answers is the correct answer?

We did this in college. It's unanswerable since any option you choose creates a contradiction, therefore making it incorrect.

I think the answer to the question is 33% although the internets does not seem to have a consensus answer.

I will wait to answer until that one guy who said there were two answers to the 1+1+1+1...etc question shows up.

I think its 50% ... you can eliminate 0%, because one of the answers must be correct, thus making that answer impossible. That leaves only two numbers, 25% and 50%. So you have a 1-in-2 chance.

If C is the correct answer, then it can't be correct because you had greater than a 0% chance. If you choose A or D, those are also wrong because that would mean you actually had a 50% chance. If you choose B, that makes it wrong because you would only actually have a 25% chance. Every answer creates a contradiction, therefore making every answer incorrect.

It depends on which type of math you use

For me its the opposite results, I am always wrong, even if the question is, "If you pick A, you will be correct"Heretic;957936 wrote:I will be right 100 percent of the time.
