Lol, okay:

Oh wait a second, I somehow didn't see you first answer correctly.  You didn't do some editing, did you? :)

1.  Okay, that one's right.

2.  He is lying.  Only some of the things he tell's you are true.

3.  Correct.

4. "What is the answer to this question?'  This is.

5.  While retarded, you might skip around that and give the average length of a duck, as "difference" might be interpreted that way.

6.  I'm fairly sure about this one:  It's not a paradox, or false, or true because....... it hasn't made any claim.  Reason being,  "This statement is false" is self-referencing; if we substitute "This statement" with the statement we get "This statement is false is false."  Again, we replace "This statement" for the statement, and again and again.  When are we going going to find the claim?  Never, it isnt making one.

End Spoilers.

#2 is fair enough.

Your answer to #4 is wrong.  There's no English sentence structure which would allow it to be correct.

As for #6, from wikipedia (I looked after the fact):

In philosophy and logic, the liar paradox, known to the ancients as the pseudomenon, encompasses paradoxical statements such as "This sentence is false." or "The next sentence is false. The previous sentence is true."

Be sure you know the answers to your own questions and next time use black highlighting for spoilers.  ^_^

What's wrong with 4?  Should I have said "This is the answer"?  Either way, you get the drift.

As for 6, I'm aware of the history; I just think (pardon the possible arrogance) that my repsonse "solves" it.

I would have used black highlighting, but I didn't see it at first.
