Of course it's consistent: it actually exists.
There is no paradox. It's clearly obvious that you can choose either box to put the treasure in. It's also clearly obvious that sticking labels on the boxes doesn't alter that, no matter what they say.
You just got fooled by the puzzle. It's not a big deal.
- bottled_poe 11y agoSorry for assuming the problem would adhere to standard expectations. By breaking the typical rules of a logic puzzle, the interesting aspects are replaced with groan-worthy ones.
- TuringTest 11y agoThat's true only if your interest is limited to the mechanical rules of logic derivation. For those of us interested in the relations between symbols and meaning, the puzzle is fascinating. > Sorry for assuming the problem would adhere to standard expectations. That was the solution to the puzzle - realizing that this was an invalid assumption, given the formulation.
