The expected answer is: There is... (Should be "There are") ...thise riddle. (Should be "this riddle") There are really only two errors. However, this being perplexus, we have to look a bit deeper. As soon as you admit that the third error exists, it stops being an error. If the riddle only has two errors, then saying that it has three errors is clearly wrong. Therefore, there is a total of three errors. However if that's the case, then the error on the third line is not an error at all, and the problem really only has two errors. This sort of cirtcular logic should lend this problem in the Paradoxes category, as it's very similar to the statement that claims to be false.
