Re: Paradoxes -- This sentence is false!

If it was false, it would then be true. If it was true, then we imply the statement and it is false, creating a non-logical question.

I'm 9, just so you know. Most people think I'm 17 or 21 or something.

Re: Paradoxes -- This sentence is false!

I'm nine and I programmed when I was 7.

Fail.

Anyways, you are in a room with no windows and nothing in it. Every day, people stare at you.
Is that a paradox, or a false statement?

We already mentioned how you come off as the braggiest . . .

Anyway, nobody eats at that restaurant over there, it's too crowded.

I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Oops, that's a paradox!
[summary]
Okay then.
User = grows nose when lies.
Okay then, if that happens, he's lieing. Then he's not lieing because it'd happen if he was lieing. But then, it becomes false because of it doing what he said! PARADOX! AHH!  tongue

The entire Planet of the Apes series is a paradox.

Re: Paradoxes -- This sentence is false!

If a projectile goes half the distance to its target, then half the distance to its target, repeating forever, it will never reach its target. zeno's paradox.  wink

It's neither. Simple. What's better is this: "This sentence is not true". That way, the answer "neither" means it's true, and you're completely stuck.

But

Code:

_∞_
\   _1_
/__ 2^n
n=1

equals 1.

Re: Paradoxes -- This sentence is false!

This is the definition of paradox, according to wikipedia.

Re: Paradoxes -- This sentence is false!

a = b
a² = ab
2a² = a² + ab
2a² - 2ab = a2 - ab
2a(a-b) = a(a-b)
2a = a
2 = 1

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