What are some of your favorite paradoxes and puzzles?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Catch-22 is always a good one (“That’s some catch, that Catch-22.”) I’m more inclined to muse over word paradoxes than solve them. My friend is the opposite and hates logic-based paradoxes that are based in the words and not in something more mathematical. One of her favourite jokes is telling people “Happy *********” on Halloween. They get so confused. She always has paper on hand to work out the solution. They still walk away confused. The Monty Hall problem was posted not too long ago (and I answered it there) so I will let someone else take a crack at it this time :) Just remember folks: always switch. Seriously. Your odds increase. We’re not lying.
