    If the correct answer is 50%, you'd only have 25% chance of getting it right, so it's wrong.
    But if the answer is 25%, you'd have 50% chance of getting it right, so it's wrong too.
    So I think the proper answer is 7.

    Theres a 50% chance you will choose 1 of the 25%'s as being the correct answer...so it cant be either of those..

    The answer is... 60% ..being the greater, not a lesser percenatage of choice, which by chance is is all you got at the end of the day.

    Paradox

    "If there is an exception to every rule, then every rule must have at least one exception; the exception to this one being that it has no exception." "There's always an exception to the rule, except to the exception of the rule—which is, in of itself, an accepted exception of the rule."

    It isn't, but "word problem" would have gotten fewer looks.

    It depends on how random your random answer is. The answer is rainbow.
