    Yup. And it says pick at random. Not apply a bunch of bullshit self mastubatory lines of thinking. Ultimately, 1 of those answers are keyed as correct, 3 are not. It’s 25% if you pick at random. If you’re applying a bunch of logic into it you’re no longer following the parameters anyway.

      If you picked it randomly 100 times, would you be correct only 25% of time despite two choices being the same?

      It must be a 50% chance.

      But that would mean 50% is correct and…

      Correct answer: all the answers in the multiple choice are wrong

      You can just say “I don’t understand probability (or the word ‘if’)” next time and save a whole bunch of effort.
