grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 What is the correct answer?! Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 AHA I think I just got it - 50% it has to be - you are either right or you are wrong - 50/50 Is that correct? Link to post Share on other sites
gareth_oau 2 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Murphy's Law states that if I was to choose an answer randomly, then I would always get C/ Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 AHA I think I just got it - 50% it has to be - you are either right or you are wrong - 50/50 Is that correct? Nope, it is a paradox. Random pick will be right 50% of the time, but if 50% is right, the chance of picking it at random is 25%... but if it's 25% then it's 50%, but if it's 50% then it's 25% Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Are you trying to confuse me? For you certainly have succeeded. I found it all became clear after reading this:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liar_paradox Link to post Share on other sites
Russell's paradox 0 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Why 50% when there are 3 different answers? As they say, maths never was my strong point. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 because 2 of them are the same answer, both A and C are 25% Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 No, A and D. There are two other options. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I meant D Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Whether you meant c or d, there are still three different value answers.... 25 twice, 50 and 60....... Link to post Share on other sites

brit-gob 9 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 So what does your comment mean? Russels: "Why 50% when there are 3 different answers? As they say, maths never was my strong point. " Tubby "because 2 of them are the same answer, both A and C are 25%" ? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 so what would it be then? I figured that there were 4 options, and 2 of em are the same so thats a 50% chance......................I know there are 3 different values but there is no 33.333333333333333% option. Numbers confuse me Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 The correct answer is "zero." None of the answers you could pick from the choices given would be correct. No correct answer is given as an option, so your chance of picking it is zero. So there. Link to post Share on other sites
