    Going with D. It’d be 25% for a normal question, but since it’s the second 25% this provides some evidence that I read all the answers.

      2 out of 4 answers are the same, and if we say that 25% is correct then you actually have a much higher chance of selecting the correct one. I’m sure there’s some statistics crap to say it’s not 50%, but if half your random choices are correct then that seems right to me. So now 50% is correct, but it’s only 1 in 4 and the odds go back to 25%. So now it’s 0%, except that that’s ALSO on there so now the correct answer is 25% again. The problem is that ever single time 25% becomes the correct answer you now have a 50% chance to get it right if chosen randomly and it’s wrong all over again.
