Seen it before. Math troll.

...but the riddle makes it closer to the original meaning of "troll."

 

[RavenSEAL]

God damn it, it's only 9am, quit making me think.

 

[DominionSeraph]

It'd be better if C was 0%.

 

[FoBoT]

based on that one lotto thread we had a couple weeks ago, i choose B

 

[vi edit]

60% off the time it works all of the time.

lol @ circular math logic

 

[Jaskalas]

How the bloody hell are we supposed to resolve that conflict?

Given that there are three different answers, I could say it's 33% chance.

You do mean 33.33..% chance, right?

 

[OOBradm]

33.333...%
* 3
=
99.999...%
= 100%

Head asplodes.

 

[Bignate603]

Ha, that could drive people nuts.

 

[T_Yamamoto]

isnt it B?
since 25% is up there twice

 

[OverVolt]

Yea it's B)

Because normally it is a 25% chance, but since there are two 25% answers and one of them is the correct answer, it brings you down to 50% odds.

If it was a blind question where you had to chose one of the four to find 25% hiding under it, sure. You have a 50% chance of guessing 25% right. Think of the ball hiding under the cup game.

But if the *real* answer is something other than 25% then you have a 1/3.

It is B, but the 25% is irrelevant. If choices A & D were some other number (as long as they're identical), it is still 50%.

Really?

But there is only 1 choice with 50%, which makes it a 25% chance. :hmm:

:biggrin:

 

[Howard]

there are no correct answers

fools

 

[Clinkster]

Yep.

 

[dighn]

there are no correct answers

no answer. it requires P(A) = A where A is the shown # and P(A) is the actual probability of selecting that number; also only one answer can fit that. none of those choices is a solution.

 

[Lifted]

No, the correct answer is

It'd be better if C was 0%.
