Liar or not? (Posted on 2002-11-12) Difficulty: 3 of 5
A man walks up to you and says:
"Everything I say to you is a lie."

Is he telling you the truth or is he lying?

If the man means: "everything I have said to you so far(including this) is a lie", then there is a contradiction in him lying AND telling the truth, so this is a paradox.
But if he means: "everything that i say to you during this conversation is a lie", then the answer is either that he's lying or it's a paradox.
