# Let's say there is a bullet which can shoot through any barrier. Let's also say there is an absolutely bullet-proof armor which no object can penetrate. What will happen if such a bullet hits such an armor? The key word is "Armor" not "Barrier", so the bullet would be stopped.
# Can a man drown in the fountain of eternal life? Only if he doesn't drink from the fountain.
# Your mission is not to accept the mission. Do you accept? I don't work for you.
# A girl goes into the past and kills her Grandmother. Since her Grandmother is dead, the girl was never born. If she were never born, she never killed her grandmother. Her grandmother she killed was the mother of her father. Her father is the girl's mother's second husband, while the girl is a child from the mother's first marrage.
# If the temperature this morning is 0 degrees and the Weather Channel says, "it will be twice as cold tomorrow", what will the temperature be? 2x0=0
# Answer truthfully (yes or no) to the following question: Will the next word you say be 'no'? Maybe (True paradox)
# What happens if you are in a car going the speed of light and you turn the headlights on? You ram into the light, crashing the car. You lose the game.

Thomson Lamp paradox
We have a perfect machine for turning a light on and off. First, we have the light on for one minute, after which it is turned off for one half of a minute. Then it is on again for one fourth of a minute and off for one eighth of a minute. This continues with the light turned on or off after one half of the preceding time period. After two full minutes an infinite sequence of offs and ons will have occured. At this time, will the light be on or off?
