This is an awesome paradox from the guys at YTMND Burst, actually. You should pay 'em a visit at: wideforums.com/ytmndburst (soon to be ytmndburst.com)

i know it, it the sentence below is false and the sentence above is true then the sentence on the bottom cant be true since the sentence above is true since that sentence is false and the sentence above is fail but the sentence on the bottom is false cuz the above sentence isnt true but it is true when the sentence on the bottom if false.... ez stuff
Aha, I think I got it. It never said what factor of the sentence is true, so the loop "The sentence below is true > Sentence above is false" change the first sentence from "The sentence below is true" to "The sentence below is true unless this sentence is stated is false, otherwise it is false.", thusly destroying the paradox while keeping the original parameters in tact.
MasterZeo "Logically this is a paradox. However if you consider that both sentences
are True and False at the same time until they are proven one or the other.
Since both prove the other wrong that makes both sentences false. I think
my head apsloded though... 5ed"
OMG, Dude No. Your'e using negative as a parallel to Zero. Irony. Never confuse your absences with your Super-Negatives.
If the below statement is true, that makes the above statement false, meaning that the below statement is in fact not true, but that would make it so that it is true because the above statement is false, wait, that made no sense, if it is false, then the statement claiming it is false is false entirely, then the above statement is true which then makes the below statement false if the below statement makes it so that the above statement is false, thus ending in an infinate contradiction.
A simpler version of this is "This statement is False." This stems from the Epimenides paradox, where Epimenides was a Cretan who made one immortal statement: "All Cretans are liars." Kurt Gödel's famous Incompleteness Theorem states (paraphrased): "All consistent axiomatic formulations of number theory include undecidable propositions."
Its simple . It says the sentence below s false . It never specifies which one therefore. It could refer to the "You may now asplode head" sentence. Therefore it states that you may , indeed , asplode head. But then the other statement says that the top statement is false. Therefore you may not asplode head.
