dude this is the sentence
my nose will grow after finishing this sentence. <- the end

niki, but if his nose won't grow as you say, that means he was lying in his sentence and it SHOULD grow, right?

Pinocchio's nose will grow after finishing that sentence. After the next lie he utters, which will occur after he completes the aforementioned sentence, his nose will grow.

It's 50%
A question of simply Yes/No is always 50%.
The question itself and the a),b),c),d) answers are made in such way that it confunds you.
Imo since this question doesn't except any value or anything its 0%

I don't understand. Are you stating that the answer is 50% or that it is 0%? Also, how is it that the "question doesn't except[sic] any value or anything"?

Since we don't know the question, we know how many answers are there 4, wich is 25% for each one. So doesn't metter wich one you chose, you have 25% for getting the correct answer and 75% for a wrong asnwer.

That was exactly what I meant in my post. 25% or 1/4.

I like how you draw a similarity between this and Russell's paradox and right afterwards imply there's a correct answer

thanks

the answer is not the answer to the problem proposed by the question, but rather the likelihood of the answers itself. Meaning it eventually comes down to a) or b), which itself results in 50% being the right answer, which then leads to b being the correct answer

That's false
