e) none of the above
the chances are 33% because 2 of the answers are the same

n00b fail

LiL stumppy · 10-11-2012, 05:37 PM

I originally thought B.

But think of it like this:

Because there's 2 25% answers (which doesn't make sense and makes it a trick question) you have a 2 in 4 chance of picking 25%, so you want to pick 50%, but if the answer was 50%, then you would only have a 25% chance of randomly picking answer B. If there weren't two correct answers, then 25% would be right. But there aren't, so 25% is wrong. It's a trick question.

Hmmm ... Where are the Tampa Bay fans? This requires a genius of the gridiron ...

But, I'm going to say 0% chance you can get it right the first time.

I was always told that when you didn't know the answer to a multiple choice test, to always guess C because you have a higher chance of being right for some reason.

I heard that, too.

Doesn't work.

That myth was started by the guy responsible for all the C answers.

break it down

50% chance of picking 25%
25% chance of picking 50%
25% chance of picking 60%

so to me, none of the answers can be correct. It can't be 25% and now since there are 3 possible correct answers, it can't be 50% and it sure as hell ain't 60%.

So I'm saying there is not a correct answer for this question.
