It's asking what the chance is of you getting it right... 50% is not correct.

At first i thought 25% makes no sense at all as two answers are the same, so it shortens the odds. edit: The answer i picked isnt there lol. 33.3r%

25% if its 50
25% if its 60
50% if its 25

Its how you look at the question.

If you forget the know the values for a,b,c or d the answers is actually 25% both 25%s are still viable options.

Trick question . 25% head hurts.

Exactly - so the answer is actually 33% which isn't there so 0%?
