Well for more fun & Games, try this one:


Epimenides was a Cretan who made one immortal statement: "All Cretans are liars."

A paradox of self-reference arises when one considers whether it is possible for Epimenides to have spoken the truth.

And for those who missed it on page 1 -

All 10 fish are left in the tank.
- fish do not drown
- they can't swim away
- 3 are floating
But they are all still in the tank.

I thought this was a trick-question, because "4 swam away" - how?

Circular arguments are always tough to resolve. A bit like the snake swallowing itself by the tail... where does it end up???

Then there is the variation on a similar theme:

- 5 birds sitting on a branch
- I shoot 1, so how many are left?

Answers:
- none; 1 is dead and the other 4 flew away
- 1 -- the dead one (hanging upside down?)
- all of them -- 4 wondering why their buddy is hanging upside down
- 4 -- wondering where their buddy went in such a hurry and a small flurry of feathers

Why would anyone name a fish Epimenides?

LOL Maybe that's what he came to when you called it.
