perplexus.info :: Paradoxes : True Or False

True Or False - Part 2 (Posted on 2003-05-07)

Obviously the following statement is 'False':
"This sentence contains Seven words".

So we correct the sentence by changing it to:
This sentence does not contain Seven words".

We know that the First statement is False and so now can we conclude that the Second statement is True ?

They are both false, do not refer to each other and this is pretty much a useless paradox. Sorry!
