No matter what your answer is
You are wrong.

Make sense to me, looking at my math workbook :/

All is good, until they start asking rhetorical questions.

Yep.
That's the only pathetic trick they ever had.

An answer without a question...new kind of math...
new kind of statistics:
It is always 50%. You either win or lose. No matter what u ask. Example: how high is the chance that I get 7 in a row of something. The answer is 50%, because to answer this question, you either get 7 in a row or not, in conclusion it is 50%.

So that's what Goodstein must have meant in his opening chapter, it all makes sense now! Statistical appears to be a common misspelling of sadistic(al):

If one enjoys dry humor, one can find it surprisingly often in science or math texts. Often, it is even intentional.
Actually, I suppose one can find it there even if one doesn't enjoy it. I sit corrected.

My math book full of correct answers but I just copied them all from the top students! "P
