We need to know the question do we not? OP failed here. The question could change the answer.

    The question is quite clear

    “What is the % chance that you can guess the right answer on this multiple choice question”

    i just wish we knew the intended answer… assuming this isn’t fake.

    I think it's actually 0%. Because it's impossible to answer correctly.

    But wouldn't that make the answer 25%? Which would make the answer 50%. Which would make the answer 25%. So you get stuck in an infinite loop, except that since that makes it impossible to answer, the paradox collapses, making the true answer 0%.

    Only... that would mean there's a 25% chance of guessing it. But that means it's still 0%... sorta?

    I feel like this question is more philosophical than mathematical...
