Ummm, this is so confusing.

Random makes it 50/50

Circular logic. There is no right answer.

33%, there's only three choices.

I was about to say that, since there is 4 choices, you have a 25% chance of getting it right. But its listed twice. 60% make no sense at all. Therefore, the answer is 50%.

but you aren't making a random choice if you think it thru like that..

Well, given four choices, the odds of arbitrarily selecting the right answer is 1/4 or 25%. However, since two of the choices are identical, the odds are 2/4, or 50%. But since 50% is listed only once, we're back to 1/4 or 25%. But since 25% is listed twice, the odds are 2/4, or 50%.

I hope that cleared it up for everybody.

B if you randomly pick and answer always pick B

Most people select C when they don't know the answer.

Impossible to answer.

Awesome question.

Interesting. 50% is the correct answer, but only one of the choices is 50% (B), so your chances of randomly selecting B are 1 in 4, or 25%. So I think either A or D are correct.

Here you go. There is no answer because there is no "question." Wait. Is everybody just waiting for some goofball to state the obvious?

Yeah, I went around in a circle for a bit like RedT2 demonstrated before I sort of came to this conclusion...

Speaking of WAG's at at multiple choice tests, did anyone ever have success with "Abacab"?
