True Or False - Part 2 (Posted on 2003-05-07) Difficulty: 2 of 5
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 ?

The first statement is false because the sentence does not have 7 words. The second statement is also false, because if you say, "This sentence does not contain Seven words", it means it doesn't have 7 words, but it does! Therefore, the second sentence is false, too! If it's changed to something like "This sentence has five words." It would be true, same with "This sentence doesn't have five words. =]
