if the answer is ∈{A, B, C, D} and there′s  only one right answer then the probability  of “drawing” the right answer is B) 25%.  but knowing this means I give the right  answer “25%” in 100% of all cases. so B is  wrong and D is right?  this seems familiar to me, did you read the  famous book by Hofstaetter,  “Goedel Escher Bach”?
