    Ouch...I feel a headache coming on...

    Just kidding! But seriously, pondering on that for too long can make one's brain hurt. Lol!

    If statement 1 is true, though, it makes statement 2 false...but then that would make statement 1 false, wouldn't it?

    If statement 2 is true, then statement 1 cannot be true, because if it were, statement 2 should be false.

    This whole thing is going in circles...

    Hmm one of the great mysteries of life =]

    If the statement "the statement below is false" is true, then it means the statement "the statement above is true" is false, which means "the statement below is false"is true, which means "the statement above is true" is false and so on.

    In the 1st statement:..

    THE STATEMENT BELoW IS FALSE

    In the 2nd statement

    THE STATEMENT ABOVE IS TRUE

    SOOOOOOOOOO...

    **think**

    **think*

    **think**

    The 2 statement are FALSE becasue the 1st statement says that "below" is false.

    and the 2nd statement says that above is true..

    so they are FALSE

    ABOVE: below is false

    BELOW: above is true that i am false.

    Depends if you live in a tipping culture or not. In America it's expected and waiters rely on tips because they're paid so badly, so you should definitely only eat out if you can afford the tip as well. I live in Australia where tips aren't expected so for me the answer is false, although I still do tip for good service.

    this is called a PARADOX because each statement invalidates the pther.
