| Mar 4, 2016 at 16:37 | comment | added | Ivo | Reading the story I found another reason why he shouldn't be hanged. The judge states that he will be hanged at noon when somebody knocks on the door at noon. Clearly 'at noon' is at a single point in time and these evens can't happen simultaneously so there is a contradiction | |
