Two Barbers (Posted on 2002-12-27) Difficulty: 2 of 5
A Man is visiting a town and decides to get his hair cut.

He asks a boy where he can find a barber and the boy says there are only two barbers in the town.

The boy shows him the first one. Inside the barber has hair all over the floor, dirt everywhere and long uneven hair.

He goes to the other one and sees the barber is dressed in pristine clothing, well cut, and his floors are well swept and clean.

The man changes his mind and goes to the other barber.

Why does he do this?

Two Barbers : My Guess | Comment 7 of 21 |
Since there are only two barbers in town, it is obvious that each gets his hair cut from the other one. So, the one whose hair is well cut has obviously got it from the other one, which gives us the reason why the man changes his mind and goes to the former one.
