| appolose said: I love trying to solve paradoxes and bizarre questions, so here's a thread for anyone else who does. I'm fairly sure I know the solutions to most of these, so I may post the answers later. Try to stay off of Wikipedia and Google. EDIT: Oh yes, if you really think you know the answer, maybe put up a spoiler warning. 1. Any statement not in bold is false. Any statement in bold is true. Is this a paradox, or can one be right?
2. A man says to you, "Everything I tell you is a lie". Paradox, false, or true (slight variant of the first problem)?
3. Is this a question? Find the correct answer.
4. What is the answer to this question? Harder version of 3.
5. What is the difference between a duck? Well, what is it?
6. This statement is false. Paradox, false, true, or something else entirely?
If you have any, feel free to put them up too. |
I'm bored so I may as well:
1. Liar's paradox if read strictly with any ~= all. Otherwise the first statement can stand alone.
2. Liar's paradox.
3. Yes.
4. It is? The question should be worded like this for clarity: "What" is the answer to the question?
5. This question is no less retarded now than it was the first time I heard it. Screw the duck.
6. Liar's paradox.
