the key word here is at random, you imagine a situation where you're doing it at random, but you're not actually answering randomly are you?

Even at random, 25% chance are the only options that are wrong, and they account for 50% of the choices and 30% of the true options. Otherwise, the question has no correct answer due to the two 25%s.

One caviat of course is that in reality, 2/3 is 66.6% and not 60%, but ya kno.
