There's a 50% chance that it happens 100% of the time.

I'm going with D because A sounds right and this is probably some bullshite like "within 100 years" does not equal "100 years"

If it's B or C, get fricked.

It's B. I couldn't tell you why though. I just remember it from learning it a while back.

Petition to ban math threads from the OT. All in favor say "aye". (And then up vote cause I can't hear you over the internet)

Well, if it's 100 years, wouldn't there be a 1% chance each year? So, 100 years, 100%?

A.
