There's a 1 in 4 chance so the answer is 25%, but there are 2 "25%"s so 50% is the correct answer, but there is only one "50%" So there's a 1 in 4 chance so the answer is 25%, but there are 2 "25%"s so 50% is the correct answer, but there is only one "50%" So there's a 1 in 4 chance so the answer is 25%, but there are 2 "25%"s so 50% is the correct answer, but there is only one "50%" So there's a 1 in 4 chance so the answer is 25%, but there are 2 "25%"s so 50% is the correct answer, but there is only one "50%" So there's a 1 in 4 chance so the answer is 25%, but there are 2 "25%"s so 50% is the correct answer, but there is only one "50%" So there's a 1 in 4 chance so the answer is 25%, but there are 2 "25%"s so 50% is the correct answer, but there is only one "50%" So there's a 1 in 4 chance so the answer is 25%, but there are 2 "25%"s so 50% is the correct answer, but there is only one "50%" So there's a 1 in 4 chance so the answer is 25%, but there are 2 "25%"s so 50% is the correct answer, but there is only one "50%" So there's a 1 in 4 chance so the answer is 25%, but there are 2 "25%"s so 50% is the correct answer, but there is only one "50%" So there's a 1 in 4 chance so the answer is 25%...

None of the answers are correct. If the answer were 25%, then it couldn't be 25% because there's a 50% chance of picking it at random, which contradicts our supposition. Similarly the answer cannot be 50% because there's a 25% chance of picking it. The answer isn't 60% because there isn't a 60% chance of picking it.
