20.)     The Answer to Question 15 is:              a          b          c          d

21.)     When I set out to make this quiz, I decided to just roll a twenty-sided die for each question, then see if the quiz had any self-consistent answer sets.  What is the probability that this method would give me a self-consistent quiz on the first try?

22.)     It is actually very easy to find a consistent answer set.  But can you figure out how many sets of answers yield 100% on this quiz?

23.)     Which is more likely, getting to view this particular quiz out of all the quizzes I might have put up today, or winning the Powerball three times in a row?

  1. I get stuck in an infinite loop between #9 and #5, is this intentional... or am I missing something?

    you don't have a 20 sided die, and there are only 4 answers available

    22

  3. @Anonymous. There is more than one possible solution. That's the point of question 22.

    @Peter. You did indeed find a correct answer set as far as 1-20 go, but your answer to 21 is incorrect, and your answer to 22 makes no sense. As for your answer to 23, touche.

  4. To clarify for you Peter, I do indeed have a 20-sided die (I AM a D&D player, after all) and I was rolling to see which question referenced which, not to see which of the four answers was correct.
