Much like the original question there doesn't seem to be a consistent way to interpret the statements/questions. Edit: Perhaps the former can be interpreted: the barber is one of the men in town who does not shave himself. (If a surgeon only operates on Sundays it doesn't mean he operates every Sunday.) |

0% We're asked what the odds are of picking the correct, entirely random answer, to *this* question. None of our options are entirely random, so the correct answer isn't one of the options. |
