@freemo I am getting a 120?

@sacha So your saying the answer in the post is correct?

@freemo It took me a couple of minutes to figure out what is going on; if you were pulling my leg, what the different math notations were, if I have become old and stale and then it dawned on me that not all math notations were in the line #3 but continued until the hashtag.

tl;dr: yes

@sacha hahaha indeed :) Easy mistake to make, but hey, thats the joke.

@freemo You may have seen this one from one of the more disreputable instances of the FediVerse, but it took me a while and a chat with a bunch of my university enlightened friends to figure out what the answer was.

@sacha I have not seen this one.. let me run through it real quick. though keep in mind it is possible it may not have an answer as there are setups like this that of course could be paradoxical.

@sacha So a few seconds after i said that I realize, the answer is undefined.. a question and a correct answer isnt really expressed here.. only way there is an answer is if you assume some number of correct answers.. like if i assume no answers are correct inherently then C, obviously..

It would be like asking "What is the correct answer to this question: cow or horse?"

@sacha Now what i can do is select each answer until one creates a logical consistancy, but that doesnt mean it is actually correct.

@sacha I think what we have going on here is the question just is worded poorly but is inferring another question... what it should say is.

"there is some unknown question to which 0 or more of the choices A to D are correct for. The question and the answers are not provided. Next to each of the letters is a percentage, the correct answers have a percentage next to it that is the correct percentage for picking a correct answer at random, the other have incorrect values next to them. From this information determine which is the correct answer"..

That is what it **intends** the question to be. But as worded, strictly speaking is not really worded correctly.

@sacha Now if we take the form of the question I just stated, which is really what they are trying to say here, then it is solvable.
