  3. You have a 50% chance of answering this questions correct. Therefore the answer would be choice B. Although, the chance that you choose choice B is a 25% chance, meaning the answers are choices A and D.

  5. 50% chance because there are two 25%, if there was one 25% there would be a 25% chance.

  8. Im pretty sure the question cannot be answered, so there is no chance you will get it right.

  9. Its a paradox. If 25+25= 50 then its 50%. But then it goes back to 25% because 50% is 1 of 4 options. It never ends.

  10. There are four answers, which makes the chance One out of 4, or 25%. However, two of the answers are the same, so your answer is one out of three, or 33%. BUT, there is no option for 33%. This is a paradox.

    You have a 50% Chance of saying that it is a 25% chance. You have a 25% chance for saying that there is a 50% chance, and a 25% chance for saying that there is a 60% chance.

    Since the paradox is listed above, you have a 50% chance of the 50% answer, and a 50% chance of the 60% answer.

    It can't be choice B, since 50% of answers A and D go together, so choices A, B, and D aren't possible. That leaves choice C, the 60% Chance, as the only option left, if you were to logically guess.

  11. You have a 50% chance of answering this questions correct. Therefore the answer would be choice B. Although, the chance that you choose choice B is a 25% chance, meaning the answers are choices A and D. So, there really is no answer to this question.
