There's a hang man on a hill who hangs any man who walks upto the gate and lies to him about where there going. Now one day a man aproaches the gate and when the hang man questions this lost fellow about where hes going the man ansewrs I have come so that you should hang me.

What now?

He hangs him. I don't see anywhere where it says that the hangman ONLY hangs people lying about where they are going.

He doesn't. The only reason the hangman hangs people is if they lie to him.

EDIT: Unless that man was lying...

He won't hang him.

A real paradox:
There is a man, and he walks up to you and says, "Everything I say is a lie."
Is he telling the truth?

It depends on whether the guy is being truthful or not, if he intended on being hung then he won't be hung, if he was just lying for fun then he gets hung. Ultimately it sucks to be him

I hate to tell you but he can't hang him becuase than he was telling him the truth and should be aloud through the gate.

The hangman pulls out a gun and shoots the lost fellow in the face for trying to confuse him.

That isn't where the man is going it's what the man is going to do .

no, because even though he just lied about that, it doesnt mean that everything that he has said is a lie

He's lying. Only SOME of the things he says are lies.

Not really a paradox but i see where you're coming from here.

A real Paradox is if Pinocchio says "My nose will grow now"

He's lying.

The answer the first one, the man would hang him. No one goes up to a weirdo on a hill and asks to be hanged, he's lying.

What I say right now is a lie. Is that better?

OP: Depends on whether the guy really wants to die or not.
