The (in)famous Barber (Posted on 2002-05-14) Difficulty: 3 of 5
In a certain small town, there is a barber named Bill. Since Bill is the only barber in the town, he decides that he will shave all the town's residents who do not shave themselves, but (obviously) not the ones who do.

If Bill follows this rule, will he shave himself or not?

(In reply to It's the chicken and the egg by Matthew Bobbins)

Just a little background info on the "chicken and the egg." The egg had to have come first, dinosaurs were laying them way before chickens evolved. Plus, since chickens evolved (like all other animals), the chicken as we know it now would have come from a slightly lesser evolved "chicken," although still would have hatched from an egg. Just to let you know :)
