The original question was a multiple choice question and none of the options had that answer. Plus, both those terms are interchangeable. For example, any number, x, divided by zero can be defined as uncomputable or as not having an answer. They are both saying the same thing.
i think this is a trick question! but anyways using my idiot logic, A must be correct because between the two answers A and D, A comes first! LMAO

You missed the point. Because there are 2 options with 25%, the correct answer becomes and 50% which therefore means that the only correct answer is b) 50%. However, since the is now only 1 correct answer, there is only a 25% chance and the cycle continues forever.

i just read this and i think i lost some braincells- so what is the answer? 25% or 50%

There is no correct answer. It is a paradox. #36 has the full explanation.
Normally, if I chose randomly, it should be A or D because there are 4 choices and 25%*4 = 100%, but then I would choose A so I am not choosing randomly? Also if there are two correct answers it will make it 50%. W.T.H.
Basically, this question is paradoxical on two levels. First of all, you can't really work out the answer because you would not be guessing, but even if you did, you will be stuck in a loop. If we assume that there is 1 correct answer, there should be a 1/4, or 25%, chance. But that appears twice in the options so you are in a situation where 2/4 options are correct therefore, you have a 50% chance of getting the correct answer. But 50% is only 1/4 options so you have a 25% chance and this just continues.
@Akbar2thegreat This time, I got this from memory, not from a MYD video. Though it might just be one my favorite YouTube channels, just saying, anyone who likes my Hard Riddles series, I absolutely love this channel.
