    "I will tell a lie" is also suitable for the 6th one, because he's neither telling the truth nor the lie, first thing that came to my head was the pinocchio paradox

      Would "I am dying" count? Technically, we are all drawing closer to death, yet we do not consider this dying. Only when our health fades do we feel that "I am dying.". It is a literal truth, but not an accepted truth (thus a lie?).
      And what about "soldiers save lives.". They save the lives of their countrymen, but take the lives of their enemies."
      And my favorite. "God created everything." So, did he create himself? It is impossible to know if that is a lie or a truth.

    There are quite a lot of answers to all of these questions. But for the last one, I think that it doesn't necessarily have to do with a "noncontradicting" statement . It could simply be phrases like "Hi. How are you doing? Who are you?" because they hold no truth/lie. It is simply a statement/question with no base.

    For number 2, my answer was "A house"
    Now you might say that's stupid but hear me out, the reason why I thought that was because I'm VERY familiar with word play and the last part states that "a necessity for any home?", keyword: Home, not house, HOME, it got me wondering why the change of words
    In technical terms, a home means a place where a person/people lives in, and on the other side, a house is a BUILDING where a person/people lives, yes they're synonymous but they're not technically the same
    And what made me convinced that my answer was "House" is because a house is definitely a necessity for every home (but not everyone could afford it, hence why there are homeless people)
    ... Sorry if that doesn't make sense... I'm not really good at explaining my logic and thought process... I know that by experience

    The answer to 6th question seems pretty absurd. REASON- It's not given whether it's a confession or a death wish. So if the prisoner were to say "YOU WILL HANG ME", it pretty much looks like a death wish, meanwhile he has been asked to confess there. Plus, according to the question, we can clearly equate that the judgement will be taken after he says something, so obviously using common sense we can see that he has been clearly asked to confess the crime he committed, not a death wish.

So if you say "You will hang me" that could be true and they could both hang you and shoot you (that they will hang you does not imply that they won't also shoot you). There's a lot that's left implicit in these questions that should be stated explicitly in order for the logic to work.

  • @billf7062
    @billf7062 Рік тому +1

    In the prisoner riddle, anything the prisoner says will be either a lie or the truth with an exception being the statement, “you will hang me”. This statement is either true or false. But it can’t be true because he’s been told he’ll be shot for telling the truth, not hanged. So, baked into his statement is a lie; if they hang him, they will make his statement true but their own statement false because they claimed he’d be shot for telling the truth. The same idea would apply inversely if the prisoner declared, “I will be shot”.

    1. A "moment" actually is a span of time. So someone can be born in the same moment but 90 seconds apart and be the difference between midnight and 11:59pm.
    2. Wouldn't the windows be both inside and outside not neither? Psr is in and part is out. You could also say the same thing against walls or doors, no?
    4. you don't have to be married to not be single. Also when you go on rides, you might here people ask for any single riders. Many people have partner they go in a plane with. Asong as you fit any definition of "single" it makes the statement false single they didn't specify and the vagueness if the original statement is what is supposed to make the riddle interesting
    6. Can't the prisoner just not say anything? There are also other possibilities if he does have to make one statement such as, when I am released I will x. He has to be released before they can tell if that is true or not. If he is released then they don't have the power to kill him. If a prisoner for life he can say something about when he turns x amount of years. They have to wait until he turns that age. If it is an old age that he won't reach or by that time it would t matter to him it would also work out

In that case "mother" is not the only answer. But for the answer to be "mother" my father's sister should've only 1 sister in law.

    Hello everyone. My friend Howard helped me move, but after the expense of the U-haul truck, U-storage, etc., I could only pay him later. Right now I still owe him $100. He's a plant enthusiast and I've been paying him back mostly with barter (plants, pots and plant stands) that I find at flea markets, etc. Yesterday I got several (pretty neglected) bonsai trees at a house clean out. There's a Japanese restaurant that just opened up here and I know the owner, who I think would pay full price. I told Howard about the plants, because I don't know their value. I told him if he told me the value, I would give him half of the proceeds up to $100. And that if the restaurant owner doesn't buy them, he can have them for half that price as barter, up to $100. So if he tells me too low a price so he himself can have them at half of that still, he risks that the restaurant owner will buy them. Is there a flaw in my logic?

    for the last question: the paradox can be easily broken if we take foresight out of the equation.
    in that given moment in time, when the criminal *said* he would be hanged, it was rather a supposition because the cops aren't NECESSARILY decided to hang him without a second thought, they either would or wouldn't based on what he says now, and since he said something that can be potentially true but can't be a lie(due to the lack of real knowledge), the logical solution is to use the guns
    you can argue they can't shoot him because then he would be wrong and the right penalty is to hang him(hence the paradox), but that will only be entirely true *after* he is sentenced to get shot, in which time the execution has been prepared and there's no turning back anymore.
    there's a simpler solution, in fact, the police is who really decides what will happen at the end of the day, they can change their mind and hang him and shot him before he suffocates, so he'll suffer both penalties for acting a smartass.

    3. Windows are inside the house. They are mounted to the frame, which sits inside the sheetrock. That the glass faces the outside does not mean that it is neither inside nor out. It is definitely in.
    Except in the cases of framelass glass, or plexiglass partitions, a window does not extend past the exterior finish of the home. It is not flush with the stucco/siding/etc. It is a CH back because of how it's mounted.
    Good try, but a riddle only works if factually true.

      Cutting your own tongue out would have been the only logical reasoning to bypass this entire situation. As they can't have a lie or truth from you.? Or just a simple answer of "say nothing" not a pathetic way of being a somewhat paradox style situation. Because it has zero reason. Then people can shoot and hang. There's no order in which it has to be.

    if you use logical statemennts(Maths) , all the prisoner has to say its a sentence which is not a statement , anything that can not be defined by either true or false , eg "Release me " - this is not a statement and therefore can't be defined by true or false

    A moment is a medieval unit for a minute when an hour was 40 minutes, so they could be born in the same moment (90 seconds), but on different dates for example they were both born between 23:59pm and 00:00:30am.

    Keeping quiet IS NOT a viable option. “What did the prisoner SAY to save himself?” It has to be something; silence doesn’t adhere to the facts presented.
    Please think about it (it may hurt your brain a little lol no joke it hurt mine). It’s an exercise in temporal logic. Pretty mind blowing really.

      If your father has a sister-in-law, it’s your mother’s sister, therefore your aunt, and not ur mom. Unless ur father broke up with ur biological mom and married her sister/brother, then ur mom would be ur father’s sister-in-law.
