the correct answer is stromatalite :3 (most likely spelled wrong)

I would answer that, but then religion wars.

Guy1:"I will not take out the trash until you clean the dishes!"

Guy2:"Well I won't clean the dishes until you take out the trash!"

Circle. That's all the paradox you'll ever need.

notrly, and i would put one here if i could think of something clever to say.

ur makin out with ur gf and then u get a call frum somone sayin "quit messin with my daughter!!!" and you ask if its ur gfs dad and she says no. THEN WHO WAS PHONE?!?!

Amazing paradox right there.

ur makin out with ur gf and then u get a call frum somone sayin "quit messin with my daughter!!!" and you ask if its ur gfs dad and she says no. THEN WHO WAS PHONE?!?!
you messed it up :o
So ur with ur honey and yur making out wen the phone rigns. U anser it n the vioce is “wut r u doing wit my daughter?” U tell ur girl n she say “my dad is ded”. THEN WHO WAS PHONE?


In a world where no one can lie, you have. You told your friend, but he thought you were lying, but he though no one could, but then you would have to be telling the truth, or you would have to be lying anyways, or you would be telling the truth, or you were lying...


# 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?
I think this is a paradox within a paradox. It can be four different temperatures at once depending on what scale of temperature you use. Assuming the temperature you gave was in Fahrenheit, then it is also 255K, -17.7°C and 459R.

This means that when you double those temperatures, it is as follows:

From the Kelvin conversion, it will be 458°F
From the Celsius conversion, it will be -34°C
From the Rankine conversion it will be 526°F.
And you can't double 0, so in Farenheit it will be 0°F.

Bam.

Yeah, that's where I got it from.

Of course Achilles would overtake the tortoise, but can you explain why? It makes sense that no matter how slowly the tortoise moves forward, Achilles just catches up more swiftly than the tortoise.

Explain mathematically why Achilles will overtake the turtle.
Taking arbitrary values:
- Achilles runs at 20mph
- The tortoise moves at 1mph
- The tortoise has a 20 mile head start

At the start, the tortoise is at 20 miles ahead of Achilles.
After one hour, the tortoise is 21 miles from the start, he is 20 miles from the start.
After two hours, the tortoise is 22 miles from the start, he has overtaken and is 18 miles in front. (40 from the start)



Here's one:
There is a Servant, and a master.
The Servant is the Master of the Master, and the Master is the Master of the Servant.


PARADOX.

Here's one:
There is a Servant, and a master.
The Servant is the Master of the Master, and the Master is the Master of the Servant.


PARADOX.
Not really. If there are two masters and two servants, that is called chain of command.
