This statement is true.
I am a Lier.

Of coarse I'm not though. ;)

Ah, Fred, don't be spammin'! ;) nah, just kidding. I agree they are both false
Title: Re: Extreme Conundrum
Post by: mvsmith on March 24, 2008, 15:07:33: The two statements taken together form a contradiction, which is not to be confused with an oxymoron, which in turn is not to be confused with one of Terryâ€™s college mates. ;D

Post by: Finn700 on March 24, 2008, 16:35:56: Qubit anyone?
Smallest information in normal computer is 1 or 0 (true or false), but bit used in quantum computers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_computer) (qubit), can have three positions: true, false, or both at the same time. Which I think is the case in the original post.

I didnâ€™t attend UCLA; I was employed by UC at UCLA and at Scripps.
Like your better half, I was educated in New Jersey.

Best not enquire into that conundrum; remember that curiosity killed SchrÃ¶dinger's Catâ€”or did it?

OK, Scripps rhymes with ships and chiips. You win.

In truth, SchrÃ¶dinger's Cat was charming in a strangely beautiful way. Probably.

If you are a lier (not in real life) than I wouldnt trust one thing you would say. So no the statement is false. ;)

The Below Statement Is False
The Above Statement Is True

Just Think it through

When I actually think trough this (which I usually not do) this shows the face of what's going on at plenty of discussion boards on the web every single day. It looks as it is a neutral situation where 1 part claim that the statement is false and the other that the statement is true and the 3rd part (which is me) see them both as neutral and don't take a side which means that the "below statement" is neutral.
Then we got three statements.. (finally). What is the 4th statement? ( :D)

Now can we get down to the serious question of the sound of one hand clapping?

But does that make any sound in a forest with no one listening? Or something like that......

Do bears clap in the woods?

Why does the Enterprise flying anti-clockwise around the sun make time go backwards, and going clockwise make it go forwards? Why is the opposite way around for Captain Picard's Enterprise?

Why does the Frenchman, Picard have such an impecable Home Counties "Luvvies" accent?

And people say that we don't have meaningful conversations here.

Title: Re: Extreme Conundrum
Post by: mvsmith on March 25, 2008, 00:29:42: This is obviously a trick question; penguins live in Antarctica and their hearing is not that good.
Title: Re: Extreme Conundrum
Post by: TerryRussell on March 25, 2008, 00:54:21: Or perhaps it is a very noisy Arctic monorail?

Or the penguin was on holiday?

Or quantum mechanics are fixing my automobile?

In America we say taking a vacation - instead of on holiday. ;D

I have alot of friends from Whales, OK ;D

Gosh, I never knew that! That is utterly amazing. ::) So you Yanks don't actually speak English then? Wow.

Next you'll be telling me that a "jumper" isn't a woollen "sweater". Or that a "handbag" is what I call a "purse". Ot that you spell "colour" differenty.

But that would be really stretching my credulity. Just like I wouldn't believe you if you told me you don't drive cars and that you drive your "automobiles" on the right hand side of the road. Or even worse, that you use gas for them.

FOTFGFAWL
