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?

Nope... If the statement is a lie, it simply means that not everything that the man says is a lie. Meaning that some of it can be true.

As I said before, if I tell you that I only got A's in school, and you know I'm lying, that doesn't mean that I got no A's in school, but rather that at least some of the grades I got in school were not A's.
