Well if I pick it at random the chances of typing one of those specific char strings into the keyboard is small enough to be effectively 0%
Creative interpretation of the question is a valid test taking method
This is a paper test, though… Not sure how your keyboard factors in to that 😅
Not paper to me, just a picture of paper. I suppose on paper circling a random small space would be fairly similar results though.
lol
My response when I saw this again a week or two ago was “the answer is 0%, but only if you don’t pick it.”
NULL
Classical paradox question. There is no correct answer.
A. I’ll go with A. Huh, that was easy.
Wrong. Correct answer is D.
Any answer is correct as long as you don’t pick it at random
There’s a 50% chance of choosing 25%, but 25% might not be the correct answer. So I’m going 0% because it fits all of my previous life choices.
25% would normally be the correct answer, but since it’s there twice it would be 50%, but since there’s only a 1/4 chance if hitting 50%, 50% would be wrong, so it’s impossible to pick the right answer, making it 0%, but since there’s a 1/4 chance of selecting 0%, that makes it 25%, but 25% is there twice, so it would be 50%, but…

Godel showed that self-referential problems like this are impossible to resolve. He proved that the existence of these types of problems mean that math can never completely describe reality as outlined in his incompleteness theorems -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gödel’s_incompleteness_theorems
This is one of the drivers of post-modernist thinking. Douglas Hofstadter talks a lot about this and the nature of consciousness in his famous book Gödel, Escher, Bach -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gödel%2C_Escher%2C_Bach
as far as i understand, godel’s incompleteness doesn’t touch reality or ability for math to describe reality. math is very vast and we only need a fraction of it to describe reality right now. whether this description is correct is debatable but not part of godel’s proof, which to me only means math can’t be “summarized” into a set of “universal” rules. i may be wrong tho, godel’s work is a lot to take in
Yes, I described it badly and that description is inaccurate. It is technically about completeness which has a very specific definition. The implication that no formal logic system could describe even itself fully and that was a major blow to modernist “clock-maker’s universe” view of the reality.
So what you do is, ignore the supposed answers and and write 25% next to them.
Problem solved!
I’m going to write and circle “e) 20%”.
Cunning, that’ll work too!
If this wasn’t an extra credit question the correct answer is to drop the class.
🤣
🦆 this useless 💩
Oh fuck.
C because all the answers are wrong.
But that would make C a correct answer. Which would make A and D correct answers…
The answer is 50% without it being b). There is also test optimization strategy for answering F’d up questions. If 2 options are the same, they can not be intended answer of test maker.
depending on the rules
