  Here’s a hint: Your second answer is closer than your first.

  Neither true nor false – it’s a vicious circle that’s making my eye twitch.

  You are correct!

  This is what’s called a Paradox. If the first sentence is true, meaning the second sentence is also true, then the first can’t be true, which makes the second incorrect. You can go in circles forever.
  Great job Paul, you’re today’s winner.

  Is “My guess is false” a paradox as well? ;)

  “This sentence is false” also does.

  “I always lie” is practically impossible to say!

  “My advice is: Never take my advice” will just keep you hanging.

  “I went back in time and destroyed my time machine” will make “Terminator” a stupid movie :)
