There isn't a correct answer, so we can't be wrong. That's how I see it any way.

What I meant was, if the correct answer is 25% then the answer is 50%. If the correct answer is 50%, then the answer is 25%. It's a paradoxical problem, and unsolvable. Simplez

if there's no correct answer, then surely we can't be right?

No. It means the question is wrong.

Ok thanks for that, a bit clearer now.

I'm a bit of a maths noob sorry, just getting to grips with it. Is maths like .....just a thing in my head or an actual thing in the real world? Can't figure it out.
