he shaves him self.

As he shaves every man who does not shave himself,the barber is included in those people who shave themselves.




Or the barber has a beard.

Knowing BTs sense of humor for the paradox, I’m sure it won’t be that easy. I’ll go with the woman along with Tyroq. It’s the only logical one that I can think of.

RE: Brain Teasers/Riddles.
Damn you are smart guys Big Grin

A man worked at a high security institution.
The man tried to log into his computer and the
computer denied the password. He then
remembered that the passwords to the
computers were reset every month for security
reasons. He called his boss for his new password. The man said, "Boss, my old password is out
of date." The boss said, "Yes, it is. The new password is
different, but if you listen closely you will be
able to figure out the new one. Your new
password has the same amount of letters as
the old one, and four of the letters are the
same." The man then logged into his computer with no
trouble. What was the new password? What
was his old ?

The new password is "Different". 9 letters. It has the same amount of letters as "the old one" which is 9 letters. 4 of the letters are the same: t, e, n, d. Oh right, and the old one was "Out of date".

OT: I asked yesterday but I don't think anyone saw it, but I have a T3 question I posted over in the gameplay FAQ thread. Could someone experienced go take a look at it and answer it for me? Thanks.

RE: Brain Teasers/Riddles.
Yeah I noticed that and edited it as soon as I posted. Tongue

Ok my turn.

There's a house in the country where an old woman lived. She was crippled and stuck to a wheelchair, but otherwise healthy enough. One day her attendant had to leave on a business trip, so he made sure to supply her with plenty of food and water for while he was away. On the counter he left a couple dozen cans of food, in the fridge there were several jugs of water, and medicine was easily at hand. However, much to the man's dismay when he returned he found the woman dead. She was not sick, nor was there any evidence of a breakin. How did she die?

I’m sure people have seen it. Like you said... this is off-topic, and should remain in the Tropico Forum. Be patient, somebody will answer it eventually. We can’t confuse the thread here like this.Wink

This is for “Brain Teasers”. Once you start this... it will never stop. Try PMs, or go back to the Tropico FAQ area.

RE: Brain Teasers/Riddles.
Yes I know this is for brain teasers, which is why I always make sure to talk about the current brain teaser or post a new one every time I say something here. I have been checking the T3 boards quite often, but very few people are active there and no one had answered my question yet, so I was hoping either you or Che might if I got your attention. I guess a PM would have been more appropriate. I'll try to remember that.

It actually is a math paradox, involving set theory. Russell's paradox is the most famous of the logical or set-theoretical paradoxes. The paradox arises within naive set theory by considering the set of all sets that are not members of themselves. Such a set appears to be a member of itself if and only if it is not a member of itself, hence the paradox. David Hilbert worked further on it, and Godel finally developed the incompleteness theorem. Essentially, for any such system, there will always be statements about the system that are true, but that are unprovable within the system.

Pretty deep, but I use it for theology arguments. All the universe is in fact such a system, and so there are truths that are real but not provable within the universe. Once that point gets across, it is a short hop to metaphysics.

But on a much lighter note, here is the answer to my other teaser: "A man goes into a bar and asks for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun, and points it at the customer. "Thank you" replies the customer and walks out." The bartender saw the man had the hiccups, and scared them away when he pulled out the gun. Big Grin

I hope message won't repeat by itself this time.

I have one, you have one.
If you remove the first letter, a bit remains.
If you remove the second, bit still remains.
After much trying, you might be able to remove
the third one also, but it remains.
It dies hard!

This sounds familiar.

Anyway, I never heard a chicken talk. Otherwise it’s the same answer as the other one.Wink
