Probably 10 inches, though it's tapering down now, but decided to stay home and work on fun stuff - Beaglebone, RS485 multidrop bus, Python, FlowSharpCode for a client. So even though I'm not at my day job (hourly contract work) I'm still making $$$.
Here's a screenshot (I hope the link works) of what I've been doing.
The stuff on the left is the C# code that SFTP's the .py files to the Beaglebone when I click on the "Send Files" button (note it's part of the canvas)
The stuff on the right is the Python code for testing the dual UART on the cape my client built.
The way it works is, I run the C# app (FlowSharpCode compiles and executes it), edit the python files, click on "Send Files" which sends a message via WebSockets to the C# code, which then queries FlowSharpCode for the .py files and SFTP's them to the Beaglebone for testing.
At some point, I'm going to implement a wee little server on the Beaglebone so I can tell it to start the app and figure out how to redirect the Python app's STDOUT (that should be pretty simple, right, ah, but this is Linux ) and send the output back to FlowSharpCode to display in the output window.
Well, anyways, I'm having FUN! ![Jig | [Dance]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)

Well - if we ignore the values - then it's 25% (a, b, c, or d).
Certainly that's how it would be graded on a multiple choice test.

We ignore the values because you said that we select one at random.
Thus, we make a presumption that one of the answers is correct.
Secondly, we select one at random. Thus, we make no consideration of their values or even an implied question.
Therefore, with four selections we've a 25% chance of selecting correctly.

But two of the answers are the same. So if that's the right answer, you've got twice as much chance of picking it.

That's true if all else were equal and no consideration was given to it being multiple choice.
However - that's a vagary in the question: if it's an absolute answer then there's a weighted probability of guessing correctly. If it's graded as multiple choice, the values are irrelevant, only the number of choices.

Random - the way to choose the answer, but then one have to decide if the answer is right or not, like in a exam you wasn't prepared for...
Now for finding the chance to pick the right, you have to know which is it... For instance if the right answer is a) and c), you have more chance than with b) and d)...
