Who was phone? *is shot*

 

well, this one's my favorite, it's called Crocodile dilemma:
Crocodile takes little kid from parents.
Parents want kid back.
Crocodile says to parents: I've made up my mind weather to give back your kid or not. If you guess right, you get your kid back, if not, I'm keeping the kid.

now, there's the catch:
if Crocodile decided to give kid back, and they guessed right, he'll give it back, if they said that that he won't give it back, and he wanted to give it back, then he keeps kid.
but problem occurs when Crocodile decided to keep kid, but parents said that he'll keep kid, and got it correct. so, if alligator keeps his promise of returning kid if parents guess correct, then he'll act against his decision, if he acts by his decision, then he'll break his promise.
what should Crocodile do?

Eat the kid.
Murder the parents.
Incinerate the bodies.
Snort the ashes.
Dance to hard techno.

 

Steal the parents. They get the kid, croc gets everything.

You misplaced a decimal there. 1/3= 0.333333333Lotsathrees333333333



I have been mulling over a paradox that has been pondered over now and then stating that matter is an illusion (Or that the second law of Thermodynamics is false...). The premise of the paradox is this:

• Matter cannot be created or destroyed.
• Matter is/ matter exists.

By virtue of the the first point, the second point cannot be true...unless of course I made an error in my logic (Me making an error?! That never happens :derpe Therefor, one can conclude that matter does not exist.

 

I think its energy can't be destroyed, but I get the point. I'm going to have to think about that one.

In the meantime, how about this - an atom is 99% nothing. We are made of atoms. We are, therefore, 99% nothing.

 

Dividing by 0 at step 8. You're argument is invalid.

 

Since energy is really mass in a different form, then mass comes from energy (And vice versa). However, where did the energy come from? Really, we don't know. We know it came from somewhere, but we don't know how.

However, matter must exist because we are made of matter.

However, there is a third idea. The third idea is that the law is mostly right, except for very special cases.

 

That's how the English language works, I'm sure it works for physics too.

 

parents should call the police, a crocodile just stole their kid! Who the buck makes deals with crocodiles?! why the hell is he speaking!? better yet why is the crocodile making paradoxes and not famous on the internet?

 

Here's a kind of paradox that is happening in my school:

It is considered to be mainstream to walk through the actual doors and hipster to use the fire doors.
But if everyone uses the fire door, are they still hipster?

 

as soon as population of people that use fire door, reaches 50% + 1 person of general population, they are becoming mainstream

 

Thinking about that is too mainstream.

 

Also, You're doing it wrong.

"Your argument is invalid."
