Apr 8, 2021 at 5:28 comment added Rand al'Thor @bobble Voting to leave open ... I think it's better to close them the other way around, as this one is both older and has more answers.

Dec 24, 2014 at 14:04 comment added warspyking @xnor You've found the puzzle now haven't you?
Dec 24, 2014 at 13:13 comment added xnor @warspyking That helps, the term "uniformly random" is used to mean random with equal chance. When you say "each answer" though, do you mean that each of the four labels is equally likely to be picked, or each of the three distinct values?
Dec 24, 2014 at 13:02 comment added warspyking @xnor random is... random? How can you define it differently, you have an equal chance of picking each answer?
Dec 24, 2014 at 12:35 comment added xnor I voted to close as unclear because the it's not specified what "random" and "right" mean, making the problem poorly posed. There's eight answers based on different interpretations, and I have no way to tell which answer is right.

Dec 24, 2014 at 6:46 comment added McMagister What is being picked and what is random needs to be more clearly defined.

Dec 24, 2014 at 3:30 comment added xnor This is meant to be a mathematically stated problem, right, not a lateral thinking problem? I'm not asking for a hint, I'm asking for clarification on the question.
Dec 24, 2014 at 3:27 comment added warspyking @xnor Sorry, changed to "correct", also I prefer not to answer more questions in comments, I'm afraid I'll reveal too much.

Dec 24, 2014 at 3:25 comment added xnor Is it uniformly random among the choices? What does right mean?
Dec 24, 2014 at 3:24 comment added warspyking That's what multiple choice implies, but just to confirm, yes @ir7
Dec 24, 2014 at 3:22 comment added ir7 Is it a multi-choice question with a single correct answer (1 or 2 or 3 or 4)?
