The Liar

The Liar is a classic logic puzzle centered on a character who always says either "I am lying" or "I am not lying." The challenge is to determine whether the statement creates a paradox. If the Liar says, "I am lying," then if they are telling the truth, they are lying, which is a contradiction. If they are lying, then their statement is false, meaning they are not lying, which also contradicts the original claim. This paradox highlights issues of self-reference and truth, illustrating how certain statements can lead to logical inconsistencies.
