    Oooh, conundrum!

    You have a 1/4 chance of selecting the correct answer at random. You have a 3/4 chance of selecting 1/4 as your answer. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

    INFINITE LOOPS

    ... but if the correct answer is D, you have a 1 in 4 chance of selecting it, meaning the probability that you'll get the right answer at random would be 1/4, so you have a 3 in 4 chance of randomly selecting 1/4 as your answer........

    Oh fuck. I'm trapped.
