    It gets worse

    There are different versions of it. They have douchebag rectangles, douchebag HUMONGOUS ellipse, and standard ellipse bubbles.

    lol Dae, your post had so much fluff in it xD

    As for the answer... there is no correct one.

    for...
    A) 25%
    B)50%
    C)60%
    D)25%

    A and D cause an infinite loop with B. and C isn't even logically feasible, the answer is the is no correct answer.

    for...
    A)25%
    B)50%
    C)0%
    D)25%

    I like this one more cause it's slightly more complex. Again, A and D cause an infinite loop with B. This would mean that there is no correct answer which is C - 0%. However, you would then be correct, and by choosing C you're saying it's impossible to be correct but at the same time you are and aren't correct to choose C which cause a paradox in itself.

    long story short: There is no correct answer for the first scenario. There is also no correct answer fort he 2nd scenario, although C would be the closest you could get.

    Circles are the easiest to fill in, narrow rectangles are also not that bad, ellipses with medium eccentricity are horrible, ellipses with low eccentricity are like circles, and ellipses with high eccentricities are like narrow rectangles. I have yet to see a rectangle bubble sheet where the rectangle isn't a narrow one.
    Butts.

    Okay guys, I've got one for you.

    My brothers' girlfriend brought this up.

    If Pinocchio were to state "My nose will now grow." what would happen?

    His nose would grow inward. He will have lied, causing it to grow, and for it to remain true, the nose would grow a negative amount of centimeters.

    "Growing inward"? Do you mean retracting?

    That "fluff" is necessary in a rigorous formal proof (which the first part of my explanation is). Some people have been trying to press that the question limits the answer possibilities to a single choice within the answer set {A, B, C, D} so my proof invalidates the question. I've also seen a proof done on a different forum in response to mine that uses set theory to conclude that the answer set is undefined (does not exist, not even the empty set is part of the answer set) therefore subverting the C) 0% problem (it's not just 0%, the probability doesn't exist).
