[Hax the Cook]

Old, but:

The following sentence is false.
The previous sentence is true.

Solve that, I'll send you a cookie.

Darkness pretty much got it, although it could be reffering to anything, not only the cookie thing.

The following sentance is false.
The previous sentance is true.

The second one is false because its not the previous sentance thats true, its some other sentance (like darky said, it could be my cookie one).
Think about it.

Darky, I'll make you something, give me some time

The following sentence is false but the next sentence says it's true, that means that the sentence before is true and the next one is false

XD IDK

There is a solution.
Think 56-dimensional cubes

They are both false.

[Hax the Cook]

They are both false.

Nice try, but it still doesn't work.

If the first one is false, that means that the second one must be true, but you just said its false.
You just flipped over

My brain itches. If it isn't solved by tomorrow, I'll think about it overnight.

All it is is a paradox, no explanation. If it true, then it is false. If it is false, then it is true.

No, sorry, there is an explanation.
its simpler than you think

[Baseballl]

A paradox can't be explained.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

[Baseballl]

The easy explanation is that, the following sentence is false. Which is true... but that doesn't solve the paradox, just the sentence.

The egg of what?

It is self-referential, meaning you can't get an answer because there isn't an answer. Once you think it is true, you see it is false. Once you see it is false, then you think it is true. All you do is backfire because there aren't any definitions for a paradox. Carlin was at fault for quoting it in the first place because he essentially kept the gullible people into thinking there is an answer to a paradox.

ITS NOT A PARADOX.
It can be solved.

It is a paradox, lol. Carlin was a genius with them and is probably one of the best comedians of all time.

This is not a paradox.
No matter what you say, I'll say its not.
thats a hint
