the bucket 90 Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi all, I'll show you some paradoxes :)Paradoxes:If a man comes and tells you : all that i say is a lie. Is he telling the truth or telling a lie?... The Bucket 90 There was a barber in a village who promised to shave everybody that does not shave himself (or herself).Can the barber shave himself and keep the mentioned promise? The Bucket 90 (1) THIS SENTENCE CONTAINS FIVE WORDS (2) THIS SENTENCE CONTAINS EIGHT WORDS (3) EXACTLY ONE SENTENCE ON THIS CARD IS TRUE The Bucket 90 Poaching on the hunting preserves of a powerful prince was punishable by death, but the prince further decreed that anyone caught poaching was to be given the privilege of deciding whether he should be hanged or beheaded. The culprit was permitted to make a statement - if it were false, he was to be hanged; if it were true, he was to be beheaded. One logical rogue availed himself of this dubious prerogative - to be hanged if he didn't and to be beheaded if he did - by stating: "I shall be hanged." Here was a dilemma not anticipated. For, as the poacher put it, "If you now hang me, you break the laws made by the prince, for my statement is true, and I ought to be beheaded, but if you behead me, you are also breaking the laws, for then what I said was false and I should therefore be hanged."The Bucket 90 The first comment, is a lie, making the third comment the truth, making the fourth comment a lie, making the sixth comment the truth, etc.. etc..

Pikachu "What happens when an immovable object gets hit by an unstoppable force". Aelsthla-Mental What is the sound of one hand clapping in a forest where a tree fell when nobody was around to hear it? Fh-Fh Start with the statement that a = b, and neither a or b equals 0. a = b Multiply each side by a. a² = ab Subtract b². a² - b² = ab - b² Factor out both sides. (a + b)(a - b) = b(a - b) Divide by (a - b). a + b = b Since a = b, then: b + b = b Combine like terms. 2b = b Divide by b. 2 = 1 Tectonix If a sword is promised to cut through anything, but cannot be broken, what happens if it trys to cut through itself?

Yankee Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi all' date=' I'll show you a paradox i learned from a mmorpg(Massive multiplayer online role playing game) game.Paradox:If a man comes and tells you : all that i say is a lie. Is he telling the truth or telling a lie?...[/quote']Ugh, thats one of the oldest ones I ever heard. Probably the first =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikachu Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Things to ponder, I would call, I got tons O.Oand SOS Haruhi, there is no real answer to any really....Use a knife that will cut through anything to cut through Stell that's garunteed not to break, what happens?

Aelsthla-Mental Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I considered them going boom, but then i figured what if it was 'immovable' on a molecular scale, so you could even make them part in an explosion or such. And as for yours, I think i'll stick to calling it a fly without wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my issue with time travel. It's impossible. If a person goes to the past for a person of even eating a cheeto, once he does, he would have not had to go to the past, thus, would have never done it, thus, he would go back to the past again to eat the cheeto. In other words, by going to the past with a perpose of doing anything, you will create an endless loop that will probably involve the whole universe and, well...yeah. 2.

Why would you kill your Grandpa? i saw that in a movie... two actually. If you went back in time to become your grandpa, by accident, that would fall into the criteria of possible, by this logic above, and making it a paradox. you are your own grandpa.
