E) This is not actually a question, in that it is not a function from the answer choices offered to a truth value.
This is because there is no actual content to be correct about. In the less confusing version where 25% only appears once, that's still not a "correct" answer. Even though it is the only number that describes its own probability of selection, it still bears no logical relationship to the content of the "question".
It is, in fact, a paradox, much like "The next thing I say to you is going to be a lie: I am lying."
It is, in fact, nothing of the kind. If the question were "If you choose an answer to this question at random, what are the odds that you will choose the most popular answer?", then it might be. As it is, none of the answers are correct because none of the answers are either correct or incorrect, because they don't relate to anything.
The question is more like "The next thing I say to you is going to be a lie: aardvark."
Wit's End is the PERFECT answer to your opponent's Monomania however.
Just hold on to your Wit's End when they Monomania, so you can Wit's End them on your next turn!!!
I think this is fairly reminiscent of the "Jace Battles" we have seen in past standards.. My guess is we will soon witness the great Monomania-Wit's End battles.

I like that example. Please tell me you teach a logic class.
