Hey - this is fun.

the answer is you have done shrooms but nothing else because shrooms are natural where you grew up and you're an environmantalist.
Actually the shrooms one is the only thing that's true on that list. :biggrin: :approve: :-p :-p :smile: :wink: :rolleyes: o:)

Do you mean, she is very smart because she knew? Or is she too smart as in "you would've known if you didn't have to be too smart, lady"?

Does so. Shrooms are a separate set from (alcohol and weed.) If you have to pick one, you pick shrooms. If you have to pick two, it's alcohol and weed.

Okay, I'll do a simple one:
1) I've lived in New Jersey.
2) I've lived in Pennsylvania.
3) I've lived in Michigan.

It's one of these 2, I think i'll go with Michigan as the lie.

You're probably right.

I was talking about availability.

Nope, Pennsylvania was the lie. I skipped right over that state. :smile:

Oh, I knew it was PA if it wasn't MI... or NJ.

Is there a logical solution to this? If #2 is false, then it's true. OTOH if #2 is true then it's false.

Funny you say that.

Is there a logical solution to this? If #2 is false, then it's true. OTOH if #2 is true then it's false.

Thats one of the solutions, the cool thing is, all 3 can be the false one.

First way, #1 is false,
then #2 can be true, and #3 is true because #1 is false.

Second way, #2 is false, #1 is true, so #3 is true because #2 is false.

Third way #3 is false, which means the first two are true.

HA Smurf, guess YOU are the one not even trying!

you don't review your posts do you? :-p

whozum, according to your logic, smurf is correct. He chose the right answer, as they were all right :smile:

If #2 is false, then it's true. OTOH if #2 is true then it's false. Doesn't that imply a contradiction either way? I wish HRW was here to shine her candlelight on this.

I mean't if the statement is false, which means that the statement is true, hehe.

Ok I will post mine:
I own 7 2pac albums (true: I own every cd released while he was alive + 7 day theory and Greatest hits).
I have never been to a rap concert (true)
Every rap cd I own was released originally in 90s (false: I own one rap cd that was not made in the 90s - Dr. Dre's 2001).
Hmm brought back to life. I am actually wrong here: Dr Dre's 2001 was released in 1999 Sorry :redface:
