    Yeah. If the answer was A/D, you'd have a 50% chance of being right, so it can't be that. But it also cannot be B, because you only have a 25% chance of getting that. C is just a filler. Correct answer is E: none of the above.

    It's just a more verbose version of "This statement is false."

    It depends on the rules they are operating with, but it cannot be answered with one of the given answers correctly.

    /took too many stats classes in college.

    Incorrect, its a paradox. If you say its 50% then you only have a 25% chance. If you say its 25% you have a 50% chance.

    Two are correct? I only see 50% listed once.

    also, according to a rather intelligent friend:

    So it's answerable, but only from the viewpoint of anti-paradoxical temporal logic.
    [21:02:58] It's a type of analysis that studies reactive system changes.
    [21:03:55] : Namely, it generates a lot of logical paradoxes and needs a way to view them so they can be compared, and operated upon.
    [21:04:50] : a/d;b BAR means an infinite repeating set of answers following the order A or D; B ;etc
    idk wtf that is supposed to mean though, or if he just made it up.

    It's a contradiction, herp. If the answer was 50%, then 25% would be the answer. If 25% was correct, then 50% would be the answer.

    P ^ -P. It's a contradiction.

    so your saying there is ONE correct answer (50%), therefore.... there's only one correct answer..... which is 25%? because you chose your answer randomly...? but.... you have been playing XIV this entire year... so no answers are correct?

    It's pretty basic propositional logic, really. If you assume P, you get -P. If you assume -P, you get P. P ^ -P is always a contradiction, which means it is never true. Unfortunately, I think the average grade in my propositional logic and discrete mathematics course is like a 40 right now.. shit's mind-blowing.

    This is what happens when children are taught to memorize instead of think.
