Not a paradox. If you're doing nothing, you're not existing. There's nothing to trigger any settings to true, just false.

Actually, not existing and doing nothing is also doing something, because doing ANYTHING is doing something.

I don't know if that is a real paradox, though. Did you find the error?  tongue

Yep. 2a(a-b) actually does not equal a(a-b).

Nope.
TS was right: To come from 2a(a-b) to a(a-b) you have to divide by a-b on both sides. In the first line we said a = b, so you have to divide by 0. That's the error.

You sometimes lie. That was one of the times you did.

If S is a set containing all sets that do not contain themselves, is S included in itself?

It doesn't really matter of the physical and definite truth- just what the answer i the moment he says it.

Re: Paradoxes -- This sentence is false!

I am 12, and here is a paradox for you.

If I take a damaged Bottle A, and recycle it into a bottle exactly like Bottle A, but not damaged, is it recycling Bottle A or repairing Bottle A?

Assume no other materials were involved in the recycling process.

That's a hypothetical question, not a paradox.

Just think of someone boring, then have them scream emotionlessly. Like this: Ahhhh.
But they smile, giving them the look of calmness.
