4 young men sat down to play
They played all night "till the break of day
They played for gold and not for fun
With equal shares for everyone
But when they had come to accounts
They each had made quite fair amounts
You, the Paradox must explain
If no man lost, how could all gain?
I'll check back later to see if someone got it right.

Ooh, paradox can be as fun as riddle. "This statement is false." is a self-referencing superposition of true and false. It's bool state is invalid, unless you want to expand bool state to include two more states... The other hypothetical (non-)bool state is self evident. It's true, but ONLY because it makes itself true. "This statement is true." is true, but in a way that doesn't matter to anything else. It's trueness is self-proclaimed in a way that can't be refuted because it doesn't depend on anything but the statement. Before any wannabe smartasses try to tell me that the statement might be false in some hypothetical language, know that it wouldn't be the same statement. The language, the context, gives the statement meaning. Wind just wouldn't be wind without air.
