Double Liar Paradox (Jourdain's paradox)

This version of the famous paradox was presented by an English mathematician P. E. B. Jourdain in 1913.

The following inscriptions are on a paper:
Back side
Inscription on the other side is true

Face side
Inscription on the other side is not true

think carefully it will give u a headache

Xtrider SG

so wat is this suppose to show? do we know which is the face and which is the back?

seotiblizzard SG

Means black inside got white, white inside got black Or there are truth in untruths and untruths in truths or there is no truth in truths and untruths in untruths or that that its the truth that black got untruth and white untruth got black truths. Or isit that the white truths got black untruths or white truth in black truths and black untruths in white untruths.??

yiha093 SG

wads a paradox Laughing

tut4nkh4m3n SG

cos only you can understand it. haha, it's like your own lil language.

tut4nkh4m3n SG

it's a statement or proposition which might reveal a truth. something like a theory, but sounding a lil more profound. lol.

seotiblizzard SG

Actually i dun understand it.
i just anyhow type.

What the 1st post tries to show is this...

The first statement (A) says: "The statement on the other side is true" and the second statement (B) says about the statement (A) "The statement on the other side is untrue"

If you believe the 1st statement (A) that (B) is true, then you cannot believe statement (A)

(B) ask you not to believe (A)!

and (A) asks you to believe (B)!

So how?

You believe (A), then you cannot believe (A) because (A) asks you to believe (B) but according to (B), you cannot believe (A).

If you do not believe (A), that what (B) says is true, it, means you do not believe (B) is true since you do not believe what (A) says. [(A) says what (B) says is true but you do not believe (A) meaning that you believe what (B) says is untrue]

If you do not believe (B) [since you do not believe (A) which says that (B) is true], then you must believe (A) because B) says (A) is untrue...

So how? You believe (A) you are wrong and if you do not believe (A) you are wrong!

This is what you call a logical conundrum.. hahahaha there is an answer but...

MyPillowTalks SG

side one: instruction on side 2 is true
side two: instruction on side 1 is fake

hmm........

i can say that the paradox presented here is ambigious
thus, i go surf other topic
