Unexpected Hanging Paradox?
400191
The flaw is that you work backward, and the week moves forward. On Monday there are five days you can be hanged on, on Tues. four days, etc. Just a different point of view. Besides, no matter when they hanged you, it would have been surprising, since you had convinced yourself it wasn't going to happen. So really, you invalidate your own reasoning. You logically cannot be hanged and have it be surprising, therefore when you are hanged, it is surprising.

maybe take a different approach and look at how a simple chain can be formed from nothing. what are the odds of that happening. take a spin on the WWW to find out.

Aha! The liar paradox rears its ugly head again....\n\nThe asnwer is - neither true nor false. The propositional content and the semantic content of the statement contradict each other.\n\nTo unpick this paradox, you have to separate the statement from the proposition it contains. \nNote that the proposition has a positive truth value - it claims that "[yadda yadda] IS [bladiblah]"\n\nNow...\n\nIf the statment is true, the proposition that it contains is rendered false, leading to a self-contradiction.\nSo [This statement is false.] is false.\nBut if it is false that the statement is false then the proposition it contains is rendered true, and again the statement is rendered self-contradictory.\n\n(Repeat ad nauseum)\n\nIf you got that, ponder this one. It's a doozy:\n\n"This staitmennt contaynes three mistakes"

Yep, the dude above is right (I think, I didn't read it completely, too long I almost fell asleep!) but anyhow, it's not only the birds, for example if you fall from a plane or something and grab unto one of those lines then you wouldn't hurt yourself, but for example if you grabbed one line with one hand and another line with the other than that would be it for you...

If a weight is hanging from a V formed by two ropes, the angle of the V cannot be 180 deg, unless the weight is 0.\n\nThis is because the Tensions in the two ropes must compose to a force equal and opposite to the weight, which is acting vertically down.\n\nIf the angle is 0, then each tension is half the weight = 500/2 = 250 N\n\nFor any other angle, we need to know the relative lengths of the ropes.  If they are equal, the tensions are equal and\n2Tcos(a/2) = weight.\nwhere a is the "V" angle.

That sounds like a "Robert's Rule" question.  Try http://www.robertsrules.com/.  They have a forum specifically for this type question.\n\nMy understanding would be that once a motion carries its permanent unless and until another motion to reverse or suspend was passed.

Anyone else notice that the "asker" of this question was suspended?\n\nUse your heads people before asking a question like that!

its just an urban myth. some people say that someone in the crew hung themselves from a tree during one of the scenes in the dwarf village, but its really just a bird taking flight. sorry if i ruined it for you.

Never heard of doing it that way.\n\nK

I think the question is Prove no-one can..., etc. This idea was proposed millenia ago by the Greek thinker Zeno, and is called "Zeno's paradox". The idea was that the runner reaches 1/2 way, then 3/4, 7/8, 15/16, etc. and must therefore never reach the end. It wasn't "proven" beyond the idea of being an interesting apparent paradox which is easily dispelled when one considers that, yes, the runner does reach all those points, but that fact needn't imply a limit on his motion. There is more complexity to the thinking than my summary indicates, however, and you may be interested to read the discussion in the reference.

Is this a real-world or mathematically-defined object?  Three dimensional?  Not enough info.\nIf a real object: You can do all sorts of hanging and balancing, but 3D objects, and especially those that are not clean geometric shapes (picture a randomly shaped rock) can be tough, requiring the assignment of a coordinate system, attachment of balancing pivot points, etc.  2D real objects are a snap: Hang from any point, draw a vertical line through the point, repeat at another point; where the lines intersect is the CM.  Here's a neat trick I read somewhere for finding the CM of something long & skinny like a stick:  Hold it horizontal, resting on two small sticks that are far enough apart so the CM is in between.  Slowly move the sticks together; they will meet at the CM!  I think you can do this with a flat 2D piece and three pins if you happen to have three hands.

What would a happen is nubiferous rapparee sparsim as the rigidity of the pullulation resulted in pullulation of the euphonical garnishee.\n\nSince your question appears to be nothing but random words strung together I thought I would respond in kind.

With no gravity, if I pushed the pendulum bob, it would travel around the fulcrum forever until some other force stopped it or until the friction stopped the motion, or the string wound itself up. \n\nIn the simple pendulum, there gravity provides a restoring force. \n\nIf I did not push the plumb bob, then if I just pulled the plumb bob back, it would stay where I left it, and not oscillate. However, as said above, some debris might strike it (a very low probability event) and cause it to move.

This is quite normal and is the result of trapped air.

This is a paradox!! Cannot be resolved. It is just like saying that "This sentence hass 3 misttakd."

Actually, the case is automatically on appeal.  The appeals court can take as long as it wants to hear the case but if it agrees with the lower court, they have only 30 days to hang him.  There are no more appeals.
