Yeah once I stopped abd thought about it out loud for a second, i felt pretty dumb for not figuring out before hehe
[tab]first I thought, there are only two possibilities. a single sentence being correcy, or none, because they are all mutually exclusive.
but then, if none are correct, dude 100 would be correct. but if dude 100 is correct, then there would be 99 wrong sentences. so he can’t be correct.
if 1 sentence is correct and 99 are wrong, dude saying that there are exactly 99 wrong sentences is correct. durrrface [/tab]
You are still not exactly saying who is right and who is wrong and especially: why. So my questions again:
Do you mean that the sentence of the 99th person is correct? And if so: Why is the sentence of the 99th person correct? And what about the other persons? Please give a rationale why the sentence of the 99th person is correct and what about the other persons and why.[/tab]
Rest of answers here, armie. I had to break it down to fix the tabs.
[tab]
so my answer again
yes
Because all sentences say different things, therefore the only two possible answers is only 1 sentence is correct, and all sentences are wrong.
2 or more sentences being correct is impossible because they would negate one another.
all sentences wrong is impossible because that would make “there are exactly 100 wrong sentences” correct, so this option is paradoxical.
this only leaves one possibility, that only one sentence is correct. therefore 99 are wrong.
thus dude who said there are exactly 99 wrong sentences is correct.
They’re… wrong.
I basically just rephrased what i had already said, so I hope this is enough for your highness.[/tab]
