Ah fuck, there goes my right to vote in Jim Crow South.
Godel showed that self-referential problems like this are impossible to resolve. He proved that the existence of these types of problems mean that math can never completely describe reality as outlined in his incompleteness theorems -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gödel’s_incompleteness_theorems
This is one of the drivers of post-modernist thinking. Douglas Hofstadter talks a lot about this and the nature of consciousness in his famous book Gödel, Escher, Bach -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gödel%2C_Escher%2C_Bach
as far as i understand, godel’s incompleteness doesn’t touch reality or ability for math to describe reality. math is very vast and we only need a fraction of it to describe reality right now. whether this description is correct is debatable but not part of godel’s proof, which to me only means math can’t be “summarized” into a set of “universal” rules. i may be wrong tho, godel’s work is a lot to take in
Yes, I described it badly and that description is inaccurate. It is technically about completeness which has a very specific definition. The implication that no formal logic system could describe even itself fully and that was a major blow to modernist “clock-maker’s universe” view of the reality.
The question is both self-aware and mutated. We have to burn it with fire before it learns to replicate.
If you were to pick at random it would be 25% given there are 4 options being. However, that isn’t the same as the question about the question, which you see 25% percent twice meaning you could Be randomly right twice actually, so the answer to this question about a question is b.) 50%.
No, because if you choose randomly there’s only a 25% chance of choosing B.
But if your answer is 25% there is a 50% chance of randomly getiing it right.
G.E.B.
Around 33%?
There’s a 50% chance of choosing 25%, but 25% might not be the correct answer. So I’m going 0% because it fits all of my previous life choices.
25% would normally be the correct answer, but since it’s there twice it would be 50%, but since there’s only a 1/4 chance if hitting 50%, 50% would be wrong, so it’s impossible to pick the right answer, making it 0%, but since there’s a 1/4 chance of selecting 0%, that makes it 25%, but 25% is there twice, so it would be 50%, but…
My response when I saw this again a week or two ago was “the answer is 0%, but only if you don’t pick it.”
NULL
33.3333333333333333333333333333333…
If we lived in a world that was allowed to make sense.
Classical paradox question. There is no correct answer.
If this wasn’t an extra credit question the correct answer is to drop the class.
🤣
🦆 this useless 💩
So what you do is, ignore the supposed answers and and write 25% next to them.
Problem solved!
I’m going to write and circle “e) 20%”.
Cunning, that’ll work too!
I’m writing in
e) All or none of the above.
or 100%

🤔… with poorly written rules it might seem proper to just make up sum shit and your color outside the lines moment might just be the one. Yet IRL rockets explode dams just burst…thermal run away yada yada soooo
Oh fuck.
a == d
a + d = b
c = burn it down
A. I’ll go with A. Huh, that was easy.
Wrong. Correct answer is D.
Any answer is correct as long as you don’t pick it at random
