In summary, the player in this conversation was once investigated for 9 counts of Grand larceny, has driven a car to over 230 mph, and pitched three no hitters in little league baseball. They are also half African American and listen to old school gangsta rap from the 1990s.

Easy Peasy, Smurf.

here's mine:

1. I've been clinically dead.

2. My sister's in the space program.

3. I've seen UFO's.
 
  • #537
3 is false, but you probably think it's true, and 2 is also false.

What's the answer then if it's so easy?
 
  • #538
You've seen UFO's -- NOT!
 
  • #539
Hey - this is fun.

the answer is you have done shrooms but nothing else because shrooms are natural where you grew up and you're an environmantalist.

For pattylou I say #1.

Everyone has seen a UFO. UFO's don't have to be extraterrestrial.

those are good btw

Actually the shrooms one is the only thing that's true on that list. :biggrin: :approve: :-p :-p :smile: :wink: :rolleyes: o:)

Well, then, you cheated. It's called two truths and a lie.
 
  • #543
Evo, you're too smart. :)

Do you mean, she is very smart because she knew? Or is she too smart as in "you would've known if you didn't have to be too smart, lady"?

Wouldn't you like to know?

That doesn't make you any less wrong. :biggrin:

False. Far too easy whozum, come on your not even trying. yes I'm aware of the logical paradox

Does so. Shrooms are a separate set from (alcohol and weed.) If you have to pick one, you pick shrooms. If you have to pick two, it's alcohol and weed.

:confused: What? Patty that doesn't make any sense.

Okay, I'll do a simple one:
1) I've lived in New Jersey.
2) I've lived in Pennsylvania.
3) I've lived in Michigan.

Moonbear said:

3) I've lived in Michigan.
It's one of these 2, I think i'll go with Michigan as the lie.

You're probably right.

I was talking about availability.

Nope, Pennsylvania was the lie. I skipped right over that state. :smile:

Oh, I knew it was PA if it wasn't MI... or NJ.

Is there a logical solution to this? If #2 is false, then it's true. OTOH if #2 is true then it's false.

Funny you say that.

Is there a logical solution to this? If #2 is false, then it's true. OTOH if #2 is true then it's false.

Thats one of the solutions, the cool thing is, all 3 can be the false one.

First way, #1 is false,
then #2 can be true, and #3 is true because #1 is false.

Second way, #2 is false, #1 is true, so #3 is true because #2 is false.

Third way #3 is false, which means the first two are true.

HA Smurf, guess YOU are the one not even trying!

you don't review your posts do you? :-p
 
  • #559
whozum, according to your logic, smurf is correct. He chose the right answer, as they were all right :smile:
 
  • #560
If #2 is false, then it's true. OTOH if #2 is true then it's false. Doesn't that imply a contradiction either way? I wish HRW was here to shine her candlelight on this.
