Conundrum #1

Q: Why is this question unanswerable?



A: Because for it to be unanswerable we must assume that the statement attesting to its unanswerable nature to be true. By assuming this to be true the question becomes answerable—with this being the answer—and therefore becoming a false statement. If the statement is false then our original assumption must be wrong and the opposite must be true. Therefore, the question becomes, “Why is this question answerable?” Since, in attempting to answer the original question, the question came to refer to its negative equivalent as an answer to itself, the loop of questions cannot be ended without disproving itself. Thus, there is no answer!
