Sounds like something a calculus teacher would use to introduce the concept of limits (or whatever it's called in english, lim when x nears zero and whatnot)Squidden said:How long will it take you to cross a crosswalk if with each step, you cut the distance you walked with the prior step by half?
Because 9 is an upside-down 6. So if I take something that is 6 pounds and turn it over, it gets heavier. Science!eggy32 said:This doesn't make any sense. Explain it.zega frega omega said:If I take something that is six pounds, and turn it over, would it become nine pounds?
If you wanted to take it logically, 2 vampires at the north pole, at noon, in winter, back to back, shot each other with gun blades.samuraiash1991 said:One fine day in the middle of the night, two dead men got up to fight, back to back they faced eachover, drew the swords and shot eachover.
best paradox story i know
How about this is multiplying by zero the same thing as not doing anything? No, because if you got 2 apples 0 times you wouldn't have any apples.Geekosaurus said:someonehairy-ish said:You're mixed up between just not doing anything to the apples and dividing them by zero
I can't see the difference between those. No matter now many times it's explained to me.
Toast has been proven to fall unbuttered side down. Your paradox has been beaten!gummibear76 said:what happens if you glue some toast butter side up to the back of a cat, and then drop the cat?
OMFG THEY JUST PASS THROUGH EACH OTHER IT'S NOT HARDFalloutJack said:Oh, and on the subject of irresistable force VS an immovable object? The universe moves instead...

You'll take the limit as x approaches the distance of the crosswalk.Squidden said:How long will it take you to cross a crosswalk if with each step, you cut the distance you walked with the prior step by half?

No.Qufang said:A man walks up to you and says "I'm a compulsive liar", can you trust him?
The unstoppable force technically wins. The result is a black hole.Megawizard said:What happens when the unstoppable force hits the immovable object?
Or, as C.S. Lewis put it, the question itself is pure nonsense. If God is omnipotent, by definition that means there is no rock He can't lift. The question is a semantic absurdity, like asking if God can draw a "square circle."blalien said:If you assume God must follow the laws of physics, then he cannot create an object so big he cannot lift it. It costs far, far more energy to create something (mc^2) than to move it (mgh). Unless he consumes every bit of usable energy in the universe creating it. And if God does not follow physics, then all logic goes out the window, and it's not even worth discussing.
That's not a paradox. You will never cross the crosswalk. Time approaches infinity.Squidden said:How long will it take you to cross a crosswalk if with each step, you cut the distance you walked with the prior step by half?
The primary colors don't just exist, they are still frequencies of light, caused by energy emmission. You just can't make a primary color from other colors.SilverUchiha said:So does that mean that Red and Blue get away with the same excuse that God does in that they create everything but they just existed from the beginning and nothing actually made them? I don't buy that.N1ceDreamz said:Red and Blue aren't combinations of anything, they are two of the three primary colours which combine to give every other colour.SilverUchiha said:If purple is the combination of Red and Blue... what is Red or Blue the combination of?
you actually have 2 piles of dirt mixed in with each other.InnerRebellion said:Not a paradox, but...
1+1=1.
You have one pile of dirt here, and one pile of dirt there. You push them together, and you still have one, bigger pile.
That's a hairy thing to say...because you _will_ (mathematically proven) cross the sidewalk at infinite time.Nibbles said:That's not a paradox. You will never cross the crosswalk. Time approaches infinity.Squidden said:How long will it take you to cross a crosswalk if with each step, you cut the distance you walked with the prior step by half?
How big is the first step, not really a paradoxSquidden said:How long will it take you to cross a crosswalk if with each step, you cut the distance you walked with the prior step by half?
but if you have them then you divided by 1Geekosaurus said:You can't divide by zero. Yes you fucking can. I have two apples, I don't divide by anything so I still have two apples. The mathematicians just don't want to admit defeat.
