  Re: Figure This One Out... Kinda Neat
 
(...) Yes, it is untrue. There should be two spaces after the period, not one. Of course you could argue that the spaces are not part of the sentence. :) Cheers, (24 years ago, 24-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Figure This One Out... Kinda Neat
 
(...) I agree. c.f. Goedel. This statement has the truth value "undecidable" (24 years ago, 22-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Figure This One Out... Kinda Neat
 
(...) This is a restating of the "Liar Paradox" a la "Everything I say is a lie." If I recall my Logic course correctly, a statement of that sort has no distinct truth value one way or the other, in that (in context) it cannot be definably true or (...)
