With three possible unique values to choose, picking one at random the odds would be 1:3.

With a choice of A,B,C or D to make, picking one at random the odds would be 1:4.

There is no 33.3 %(recurring) answer listed for the 1:3 unique values option.

It's one of those Facebook style questions with no answer for people to argue over (like the maths question, deliberately written ambiguously without syntax or brackets so different people can get different answers depending on whether they apply BODMAS/BIDMAS convention).

All I know is that 2+2=5

For extremely large values of 2

Personally, when I first saw this I argued that there are 4 options, so a 1 in 4 chabce, (25%), but seeing as 25% is a possible answer twice, chances increase to 2 in 4, (50%).

It creates a paradox in which now the answer of 50% is given once, which is a 25% probability, and the whole cycle starts again..

maths isn't that hard if you're rubbish at it, or extremely good.

there's a 50% chance that you will choose the 25% answer.

there are 4 answers, making it so that there's a 25% answer, except it makes it 50% again.

now a mathematician would start introducing letters to this to figure out the actual equation.

so erm...a and d are the same answer.

P= 2a, 2d, 1b, 0c.

divide that by 4. carry the one.

a=half (50%), b=1 quarter(25%), c=0 no probabilty, d=2=half(50%).

erm. we take these halves and see there is 2 of them, and one of the quarters.

this makes up 100% of the possible answers but we're not done. we have like 125% possible answers here. how do we work out the psooibility.

we don't.

as you say it is a paradox and therefore illogical. this question cannot exist in our space time.

i make no apologies for my spelling of possibilities there. i had to go outside of the space time continuum to try to work out this 'puzzle'.

Very good

I'm going to use this to confuse the hell out of people.

It's impossible.

It's can't be 25% because there is 2 of them making the probabilty 50%. And it can't be 50% because the probability of pricking that is 25%.

Love it.

I came when I read some of the first answers too. But I think I was a bit premature. Story of my life.

well you don't actually carry a one, that was a little maths joke. and i could've worked out more after the 125% but didn't see the point.
