Paradoxical Puzzler: How Many Mistakes?
This sentence contains threee misteaks. |
Yes, I see. This paradoxical puzzler contains three mistakes. Let's count them. Oh! the word 'three' is mispelled (or is it misspelled?). That's one mistake.
And speaking of mistakes, looks like 'mistakes' is spelled wrong. That makes two mistakes.

*ponders*
Hm. I can't find any more mistakes (or misteaks!). I don't think the sentence has three mistakes. I think it's only got two! So, actually, the statement is WRONG!
Oh...wait a minute...if the statement is wrong, that makes the third mistake! So, I guess it wasn't wrong after all! HA!
But...if it wasn't wrong...then there's only TWO mistakes, not three. Which means the statement is wrong after all! Which means there ARE three mistakes, not two!
But wait a minute...if there really are three mistakes, then the statement is true, and so...
Where's that merry-go-round when you need it?
