Maybe a little more obtuse than the previous ones Liar Paradox A paradox: This statement is not true. But if not true then false it has to be And yet, if false, then true it would be too A paradox, this statement is not true. But false or true, it cannot be the two - With clarity, I think that all should see The paradox, this statement is not true, For if not true then false it cannot be. |

Wow, I tried to find a way out of this circle of paradox, but failed. If the statement is true, it is false, but if the statement is false, it must be true, which loops back around to if the statement is true it must be false. Unending. It reminds me of the two doors in Labyrinth (or any other similiar riddle) were one is always telling the truth and the other is always lying and you have to figure out the right question to ask to figure out which is which. Only this puzzle has no answer. It also made me sit here and think just to make sure there really wasn't a solution. Very Cool.

Very nice, Pete! I've always loved that paradox!  Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end... |
