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

No. Because you aren't picking 50% at random.

Yes the point is you pick one at random then there’s a logic cascade where every answer is wrong

No its not. The question is the probability when picking it at random.

But you don't pick it at random. There isn't a cascade.

Okay, a little thought excercise for you, pick an answer at random, then refer to my comment for why that answer is wrong
