If i was right
 
If every thing I say was right, and everything you said was wrong, if I said that you were right about something, would that technicly make me wrong? Since no matter what you said it was wrong, and since I declare it right.. Honestly this is annoying me >.< Thoughts and opinions =0

Perhaps it is that when it comes to certain things, there is no wrong answer. For example: a solution in which the outcome remains indifferent to the actions of outsiders.

The statement below is true.
The statement above is false.

It's a paradox... indeterminate.

I like trying to make an explanation for every paradox there is.

Re: If i was right
 
ah, well now it makes sense. Depending on the situation there could be multiple or no answer if not a definite i supose. Or maybe im not thinking right since its almost 2 am :k

Here's a simple paradox for you.

"I always lie."

Re: If i was right
 
I get the paradox thing. It means, what was said dictates its meaning and really means the oposite of what was said >.> lol

there are two towns, lieville and truthville. the people in lieville lie, and the people in truthville tell the truth only. there is a traveler going to truthville. he comes to a fork in the road, one one side, is turthville, on the other, lieviille. there is man there. he is either from lieville, or truthville. what question do you ask to get to truthville?

You ask where they live.

Re: If i was right
 
Why would you do that >.> Oh well, be back tomorrow, getting tired and my pinky is numb from tapping. and nevermind i get why. but what if he didn't come from truthville is the question lol. then he would be lieing >.>

UberMario 01-23-2007 04:46 AM

Re: If i was right
 
And he would point to truthville still...

My way is better/more complicated8-)

If I asked him what colour the grass was I would know whether he was lying or telling the truth, I could then ask him the way to truthville and know where to go depending on whether he was a liar or a truth-teller

Re: If i was right
 
Good point >.> I'm too dumb to try to think of something. Trying to remember a cartoon that has one liar and one truth teller, figure out what question to ask of where to find a box lol.

Re: If i was right
 
I think the original riddle allows only one question asked, but no matter. UberMario already got it.

Think about it. The riddle doesn't ask you to figure out whether the man lies or tells the truth - only how to get to Truthville. Now, if you ask him where he's from and he tells the truth, he'll point to Truthville. If you ask him where he's from and he's a liar, he'll lie and also point to Truthville. And there you have it.

Re: If i was right
 
Ah, ok then. Well still, if this ever happens to me, I'll beat the hell out of the man and take my chances going one way, if not the right way, turn around and go the other lol.

(I hate my ****ing computer!!! For the first time I pass the jacks in tgwp1 my ****ing internet drops and ruins my combo.)
