0% A self-referential question is logically meaningless, whether one of the terms is duplicated or not.

Ok, so it's not statistics, but probability calculation...

I'm still working it out, be with you in a moment...

Logically, if you choose at random from 4 answers, you have a 25% chance of getting it right. However, this answer is repeated twice, so you have a 50% chance to get the right answer. However, that answer appears only once, so you have a 25% chance of getting it right. However, this answer is repeated twice, so you have a 50% chance to get the right answer.

Talking of statistics, could someone post Cameron 'Blairs' 10 happiness indicators?

I might have a chance of getting 1/10 correct

Great to know that in these times of 'austerity' and 'all in this together' Camerons wasting 'my hard earned' on petty, insignificances rather than concentrating on getting the country back on its feet and out to work

Nigeria apparently has the happiest people in the world, despite widespread un-employment, disease, poverty etc. I can attest to the fact having lived and worked there for 5 years . Yet in the UK we are more unhappy with our lot than our parents generation.

50% - well someone 'as tbe serious round 'ere....

This has gone from a somewhat iffy question to the state of mind of Nigeria. Now that's what I call "thread drift"!

I thought it was repeated only once!

So....What IS the right answer then ?

I'm too unhappy to work it out 

Need retail therapy, must order more Pendraken figs

Ah, I see where you're getting at. If something is repeated twice, you would indeed expect it to be there three times. And it actually isn't, is it?

I was quite lucky to avoid the logic police with that one, who knows what might have happened. 

[FierceKitty]

The logic police have given up on that one, I fear.

Maybe they're still going round in circles.
