The correct answer to this question is “c.” Don’t let any of the others fool you.

a. Pick me and I’ll show you how to lose weight while eating anything you like. b. Pick me and you’ll get to take this class again. c. I am the correct answer. This is not a joke. See Dr. Cooper for a joke if you cannot tell the difference. d. Don’t pick me. Really, I’m not kidding. The real answer is “c.” Well, I mean, I’m pretty sure it is. To tell you the truth, I’ve never really thought about it that much. Come to think of it, I’m no longer sure if “c” even exists. I’m not even sure if I exist. But if I do, there must be a “c” to precede me; otherwise how would you get to me, “d”? Or maybe there’s a big “D” out there somewhere of which I am only a shadow. All right—all I really know is that I’m not “c.” Unless maybe I’m a really stupid “c.” Look, I’ll get back to you, OK?
