Paradoxes
Paradoxes are so cool!! I'm going to post some up~
A ursurper takes the throne and creates a new rule: No rules apply to me.
The question is, do rules apply or do they not?
Someone has a perfectly straight branch with an infinite length. He starts a countdown of 1 minute. After half the time (30 secs) has gone by, he halves the branch. After half the remaining time (15 secs) he halves both branches, and so on every time half the time has gone by.
The question is, at the end of the minute, how many pieces are there? How long is each branch?
Someone has a lightbulb with a on/off switch. He starts a countdown of 1 minute. After half the time (30 secs) has gone by, he turns it on. After half the remaining time (15 secs) has gone by, he turns it off, and so on, pressing the switch after half the time has gone by.
The question is, at the end of the minute, is the lightbulb on or off?
A stranger greets you and says that he is from the future. he gives you a ring, then vanishes. When you grow up, you build a time machine. You go back and give your younger self the ring.
The question is, where did the ring come from?
I have good news and bad news.
The bad news is: I have no good news.
The good news is: I have no bad news.
The below statement is true.
The above statement is false.
UPDATE:
If everything is possible,
Then it is impossible for anything to be impossible.
But isn't being impossible something that contradicts the first sentence?
(Kudos Deon)
These are going to turn your brain into mush~
