The first one is the lie, IT says that the next is a lie, then the second says that the last was a lie. Seeing the second one says that the first is a lie, if the first is true... okay

1-'the next sentence i say is a lie'
2-'the last sentence i said is a lie'

If 1 is true then that means that, 2 is a lie, essentially, the lie is a lie, so it basically means it is saying, the first was true.

^^ i love riddles

The difference is, this isn't actually a paradox. ;)

It's just a riddle with no clear solution. All you know is that one sentence is false and the other is true, but it's not clear which is which.

A paradox would be:
1-'the next sentence i say is a lie'
2-'the last sentence i said is true'

I've got one:

"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

It's one of the most famous riddles ever, so I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding the answer in wiki or google :P

aggry: Coloured and variegated glass beads of ancient manufacture, found buried in the ground in Africa. A word of unknown origin. Seemingly always used attributively, as in aggry beads.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

Find the word that fits the first definition, then add a "T" in front of it to make a new word that fits the second definition.

Place a "T" in front of a musical instrument and get a part of most rosebushes.

Damn.

I was hoping you'd be confused by the conflicting answers... :P

Language seems to be the accepted one though. Other people think it's 'Gry', owing to the fact that 'gry' means something small or insignificant, which isn't used commonly these days, but that that part of the riddle refers to the meaning of the word rather than its usage (i.e. small things are used commonly). There's a couple others too. But 'language' seems to be the official answer.

How about this riddle?

A kran , an enki and a ylian walk into the tavern. A fight breaks out, and a few minutes later abruptly ends with the death of 2 of the aforementioned patrons.

Curious to know what took place, you ask the bartender and a few witnesses what took place. The bartender tells you, "Whoever had the galkard killed the Ylian. Before he died, the ylian dropped a claymore. There was an Enki here too, he was wearing blue."

You then ask another patron what happened and he tells you, "That shady one wearing purple killed the Enki. The enki dropped a longsword, but it was shattered by a large sword. Only a claymore could have done that kind of damage."

Finally, asking a 3rd witness about what happens he only tells you, "It happened so fast, and I'll admit I'm a bit drunk. But I can say without a doubt that the red one got the purple right in the back."

You think for a bit, then declare to the pub everything that happened. What did you tell them.

(Be specific and list your answer like this, "The (color) (race) had a (weapon) but was killed by the (color) (race) with a (weapon). But, then he was killed by the (color) (race) with a (weapon).")
