    But two of those answers are the same, which reduces the number of possibilities to 3, and 33.3% isn’t an option.

      It doesn’t reduce the numbet of possibilities. If you had 9999 true and 1 false, the chances are not 50/50

        25% chance that guessing an answer on a 4 answer question will be true. However, two of the answers say 25%, which is 50% of the possibilities, which now invalidates those answers from being correct. With only answer being correct, it invalidates 50% from being the right answer.
