Looking for an illustration for a new article about books, I came across a curious puzzle (see figure). After thinking about it for a couple of minutes, I, unfortunately, could not resist and found a clue on the Web. And it would be nice to solve the puzzle yourself :(
For those who are still thinking, but already ready to despair, I give hint: DO NOT BELIEVE YOUR EYES.
This consideration is also part of my December-January puzzle. In Akunin’s Pelagia and the Black Monk, a semi-crazy physicist complained that the eyes always deceive the researcher, and a blind scientist would be much more objective. One catch – having gone blind, he will lose not only the lies supplied to him, but also rare grains – traces of truth.
The solution to Curry’s paradox can be found in BE_%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B7%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%BC_%D1%82% D1%80%D0%B5%D1%83%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B5_%28%D1%87% D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8F%D1%85_%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%83%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1% 8C%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0%29″ title=”Curry’s paradox solution”>Wikipedia or watch the video below.
