I would answer 0%.

You say the answer is 50%. So 25% is not the right answer to the question, right? So you only have 25% chance of randomly selecting 50%, and therefore, 50% is the wrong answer.

So the answer is 25%, but you have 50% chance of picking 25%, so it's wrong again.

You can't solve it: the answer is 0%.

But that would mean 0% is the correct answer.

So theres a 25% chance of picking 0% as the correct answer.

The correct answer changes depending on what answer you picked.

Its a Schrodingers probability question.

You didn't follow what that means though. If 0% is the correct answer, a random guess has a 25% chance of hitting it. It loops.
