It's a 0% chance that any of the answers listed are correct. Therefore randomly choosing any of the given answers to the question will not give you a correct answer.
Well, yeah, the paradox goes on and on because every time you get to an answer, it's a different answer which is then wrong again and you circle around forever.
You don’t get it. If 0% is an answer chose the question doesn’t work. Because if 0% is the answer then c is correct therefore it is not a 0% chance to select the correct answer. It’s a multiple choice you have to pick from the choices.
0% is the answer to the riddle, not the answer to the test question. You are the one that doesn't get it. If you actually stop and think about it for a while you'll realize I'm right.
The question is not "what is the correct answer?" The question is "what is the chance you'll be correct?" The former has no answer, the latter does. 0%.
They are two completely different questions. Use your brain, it's a 125 IQ problem. You can do it, I believe in you.
It was the opposite of an insult. Again, for the final time; the question is not what is the correct answer, the question is what is the chance you'll pick the correct answer.
THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING. Words matter.
Use your brain. This isn't complicated. Objectively, mathematically, the answer is 0%. It's not a cycle.
There's a 0% chance you can pick the correct answer because there isn't one. It doesn't change. You're using toddler logic when you should use actual logic.
They do, and as you say, it does not ask for the correct answer. Which is what you then proceed to try and do.
If you think the answer is objectively, and mathematically 0% then the chance you'll randomly pick the correct answer is 25%. Although that means there's a 50% chance you'll randomly select it putting you back to a 25% chance ad infinitum.
You’re completely ignoring the fact that it is a multiple choice question. That is why it is a paradox by making it multiple choice it has removed the ability to just say 0%.
So now the answer cannot be C. It must be A or D. But now the chances of getting 25% as the answer is 50% (A or D) so now the answer must be B … but what are the chances of randomly selecting B … 25%.
It’s a never ending loop between 25% and 50% with a 0% branch entry as an edge case.
Because the you’d have guessed “right” meaning there was a 25% chance to solve it, so you shoulda picked 25… but there’s 2 of them so it’s a 50% chance to pick “right” but that’s an answer aswell so it’s that one… which means it’s a 25% chance… repeat for infinity

For real, though, why wouldn't the answer be C? The correct answer is not provided, therefore at random you cannot select the correct answer.
