None of the answers are correct. The answer "25%" has a 50% chance of being chosen; the answer "50%" has a 25% chance of being chosen; the answer "60%" has a 25% chance of being chosen. Since none of the answers are equivalent to their respective probabilities, none are correct.

Here is a similar question that is even more perplexing.
If you choose an answer to this question at random, what is the chance you will be correct?
A ) 25%
B ) 50%
C ) 50%
D ) 75%

That's exactly what I said. Two great minds.

I still think it's ACDC

If I gave you 9 red balls and one blue one and asked to pick a ball at random, what's the chance that you will pick a red one? According to your logic it's 1/10.

at random means the details can't play a role in your choice. if you can calculate something it very well can't be random now can it?

thats the kind of issues you run into with these paradox questions they make no sense on multiple levels.

Just because the details don't play a role in your choice doesn't mean the probabilities aren't pre-determined and able to be calculated. Like you can roll two dice, and you know without a doubt that you have a 6 in 36 chance of the sum being 7, a 5 in 36 of it being 6 or 8, 4 in 36 of it being 5 or 9, ... and a 1 in 36 chance of it being 2 or 12. If you roll a pair of dice hundreds of times, you'll see that probability distribution emerge.

So in this question, if you pick just one answer at random, you have a 50% chance that you pick "25%", and a 25% chance that you pick "50%" or "60%". No matter which you pick at random, it does not correctly answer the question asked.

At least, that is if you use a random probability distribution such that every choice is equally likely. Like I said in my first post, you could use a weighted random distribution so that you still pick randomly, but it's more likely that you pick one answer over others.

i dislike how they made the only probability sources and choices the same thing. answers inside a question is a stupid format lol.

Of course the details don't play a role in your choice. But that doesn't change the fact that your choice, made randomly, will have certain outcomes. I'm not saying "pick a ball at random but make sure it's red". I'm saying "pick a ball at random" and after you pick we see whether the ball was red or blue. If you pick a ball at random 10 times, you will likely have more red ones than blue ones, even though you may even be colourblind and unable to tell the difference at all.

If I give you a bunch of basketballs and ask you to pick a ball at random, what are the chances that you'll pick something that's made of rubber? 100%, even though you are picking at random and not factoring the fact that they are made of rubber into your decision.

Random choice simply means that you are equally likely to pick any particular choice out of the ones available. It doesn't mean that the choices themselves are not different, that some may be correct and some not, that some may be blue and others red. It only means that those differences won't factor into your decision.

ya i get all this i'm just saying the format used in this question makes a paradox confusing rather than just being a paradox.

Becuse its a riddle.
I would guess for 50% at first glance but its false due to it still being 4 choices with 3 possibilities so i gota land on 33,333333333333% knowing its incorrect for that matter.
The problem with this is you could get 2 varibles of 25%

Well to the trick that makes it a riddle.
Neither of the options on the question is correct.
