We're assuming the hang man has the magical lie-detector ability in order to justly hang someone who is lying to him. Because this is so, the man probably does not have this ability and hangs everyone assuring himself that everyone is a liar and should be hanged anyway.
Either way he hangs him. If he is telling the truth, he hangs him because thats what he asked. If he is lying, he still hangs him. You never explained what would happen if he was telling the truth.
Ummm.... No? Yes?
FYI that's not a parodox THIS however is a parodox: A man is held hostage and is told he will die if he doesn't tell him a story and he'll kill him once he's finished. So the man said: One day a man is held hostage and is told he will die if he doesn't tell him a story and he'll kill him once he's finished. So the man said: One day a man is held hostage and is told he will die if he doesn't tell him a story and he'll kill him once he's finished. So the man said: One day a man is held hostage and is told he will die if he doesn't tell him a story and he'll kill him once he's finished. So the man said: One day a man is held hostage and is told he will die if he doesn't tell him a story and he'll kill him once he's finished... it will never stop.

Ah, you were doing so well up until the end there. It doesn't make him a lier, if he came with the intention of being hanged and was simply unable to make that happen due to circumstances, that doesn't make his previous proclamation a lie.Danman1 said:
What about time paradoxes? I can think a solution to some of them, but not to all of them.yoyo13rom said:No he isn't. But he's just lying now.RabidusUnus said:
If he were telling the truth, then what he's saying now is nullifying his actions.
But if he doesn't lie all the time, he can lie sometimes. So now he is lying.
OT: The hangman hangs only those who lie, so:
1. the dude isn't lying but the hangman can't fulfill his wish.
2. the dude didn't came to be hanged, but by saying he did, he lied. So the hangman will kill him.
In my opinion, there are no real possible paradoxes, just good logic games, or problems that are wrong, or missing something.
i've got the simplest brain killer ever 
The line below is telling the truth
The line above is lying
you don't need anymore than that

That's not a paradox, that's just recursion. And it's still possible for the story to end, the guy is just being a dick and telling a silly tale.Beardon65 said:
But the Hangman still thinks the man must be lying. So as a whole it's not a paradox, but to the hangman it creates one. So the man must have known the problem he created, and set the hangman in a loop of hanging and not hanging. Thus saving liars from being murdered. So really it's more of an uplifting story than a paradoxHexenwolf said:
