One Of The Greatest Paradoxes Ever Recorded In History

[Amaya 3]

Many years ago, a Law teacher came across a student who was willing to

learn but was unable to pay the fees. The student struck a deal

saying, "I will pay your fee the day I win my first case in the

court". Teacher agreed and proceeded with the law course. When the

course was finished and teacher started pestering the student to pay

up the fee, the student reminded him of the deal and pushed days.

Fed up with this, the teacher decided to sue the student in the court

of law and both! of them decided to argue for themselves. The teacher

put forward his argument saying: "If I win this case, as per the court

of law, the student has to pay me as the case is about his non-payment

of dues. And if I lose the case, student will still pay me because he

would have won his first case. So either way I will have to get the

money".

Equally brilliant, the student argued back saying: "If I win the case,

as per the court of law, I don't have to pay anything to the teacher

as the case is about my non-payment of dues. And if I lose the case, I

don't have to pay him because I haven't won my first case yet. So

either way, I am not going to pay the teacher anything".
