Hence the paradox. Say 'this one' doesn't shave. Then 'this one' has to shave herself, as she herself doesn't shave herself. Incidentally, we've been misinformed. The wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barber_paradox refers specifically to a male barber, who shaves daily every man who does not shave himself; i.e. male barber, male customers only. |
