Shoot. Already got it. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Here's another one

If man walks up to you and says:"Everything I tell you is a lie." How do you know if he is telling the truth?

Sir Goulum · 02-15-2003, 06:23 PM

Ask him if he's a girl or a guy, and if he answeres the opposite, he's lying [img]tongue.gif[/img]

andrewas · 02-15-2003, 06:28 PM

If he's telling the truth, then he's lying because hes telling the truth and saying he's lying, and this sentence makes no sense because it can make no sense. I need a drink.

However, if he is lying, then not everything he tells you is a lie. Unlike the previous supposition, this dosent go into a circular nightmare. Depending on how you interpret the riddle, anyway.

So he's lying, because if he's telling the truth he cant be telling the truth.

My head hurts now.

Ah, I thaught it was something like that, I just didnt count the "The".
As far as I can tell the man lying is just a big circle. Its just like arguing weather or not God exists(pleases dont start), there is just no way you can make absolute sence of it...
