QUOTE(raum)"I deserve to be shot."

If the statement is false, he doesn't deserve to be shot.  This is the penalty for a false statement, and he just made a true one.  If his statement is true, he deserves to be hung, but if his statement is true, hanging is not the punishment for his crime, gunfire is,.. but by telling the truth, he can not be punished according to the weight of his statement.

They have to let him go, for the paradox is, the punishment would not fit the crime.



your right.

General Gasslefield said: "I will be shot." If this statement was true, he would have been

hung and thus not be shot. But then his statement would be false, which implies that he

should be shot, making the statement true again, etc... In other words: the verdict of the

court-martial could not be executed and the general was released.

After teaching his class all about roman numerals (X = 10, IX=9 and so on) the teacher asked his class to draw a single continuous line and turn IX into 6. The only stipulation the teacher made was that the pen could not be lifted from the paper until the line was complete.

Actually his first answer was accurate... if you read it again, you will see that he is telling you the answer in the same way that the question was asked. (the answer being the letter E)

The answer to riddle 8 is...
the ball will hit bottom in the bucket at 20 C because the bucket at 20 F is frozen.
