I'm going to post a riddle my AP Euro teacher gave us the first day.

 

 

 

A king goes to a condemned man the day before he is to be executed. He says to the man; "I am going to give you a chance to win your freedom. You have to tell me a statement, any statement. But if it is a fact, you are going to be shot, right here, right now. If it isn't a fact you're going to be hanged, right here, right now." What does the man say to win his freedom.

 

 

 

[hide=Answer]"I am going to be hanged."

 

 

 

Now, honestly, I believe this is an answer, however I believe the riddle is worded poorly, seeing as this might be taken as not a fact. Opinons?[/hide]

I heard that once, but it was worded like

 

If you tell me the truth, I will cut off your head, if you tell me a lie, I will strangle you, if you say nothing I will stab you through the heart.

Anyone know of the Paradox of Thrift ?

 

It says that the more you save your money, the less you will get.

 

Kudos to anyone that tells why.

 

No cheating.

No cheating.

 

 

 

The only thing I can think of is you have to spend money to make money, or that if nobody is spending money it doesn't flow and slows down the economy.

 

 

 

*edit: Just looked it up, yeah I was right.

Highly summarised, but yes.

 

You're correct :thumbup:

The more swiss cheese there is, the more holes there are.

 

The more holes there are, the less cheese there is.

 

Therefore, the more cheese there is, the less cheese there is.

 

 

 

Not so much a paradox as bad logic :P

Also this one: One dollar will not make you rich, so if you keep this up, one dollar at a time, you will never become rich, no matter how much you obtain.

 

:roll:

I don't know if its a paradox, but Wikipedia had it listed when I checked a year ago.

 

 

 

A judge sentenced a prisoner to death, and the prisoner was told that he would be executed at noon on any of the weekdays the following week, when he least expected it.

 

So the prisoner starts thinking about which day he is going to be executed, and realises he cannot be executed on Friday, because he will be expecting it after the Thursday. HE then works out that he cannot be executed on THursday because after Wednesday, he expects it on Thursday. He uses this logic all the way to Monday and relaxes that he cannot be executed without expecting it.

 

 

 

The next Wednesday, at noon, the prisoner hears a knock, its the executioner, who took the prisoner completely by suprise.

 

 

 

I hope I said it OK...I thought it was pretty clever when I firts heard it.

Doomy edit: I like sheep

yeah it makes sense, he thought it woudlnt happen so he wasnt expecting it at any time

Whatever day it is doesn't matter.You cannot expect the unexpected.

The Eleventh Commandment:Thou Shalst only say "Amen,brother".

Amen, brother :lol:

Amen, brudda (referring to the 10th commandment)

amen Bruder! (german ftw)

I'm invulnerable to everything, except Lenin and Dragoonson.

That's impossible.

It's impossible to think of pure nothing, since you'll always think of something to put in the nothingness, including the actual word nothing.

Does no equal a negative yes?

Pureprayer, you're awesome.

yes, because they are opposites and a negative sign can also be read as the opposite of.

 

 

 

Schrodinger's cat is an interesting paradox about how reality can exist in multiple states(outside box has a cat that is both alive and dead inside box has only of those)

Well if no = -yes no*no would be equal to -yes*(-yes) which is the same thing as yes * yes. and if no*no = Yes*Yes, no = yes

I do not not disagree with that statement. See your flaw?

-1 does not equal 1, thats what you are arguing. Ill show the proof if you really need to see it

I have proof that they are equal. -1*x =1. If we multiply each side by zero we get 0 = 0 which is equal.

I like it; the pureprayer simplification. Got an equation you can't solve? Multiply by zero!
