[math-fun] Eliana’s Paradox

My 9-year-old said something yesterday afternoon that I tweeted about, and the tweet blew up like NOTHING I’d ever posted on Twitter before: over 400 likes right now, with more coming in by the minute. So I thought I’d share it with you. Here it is: My kid just told me “I have good news and bad news for you.” It turned out that the good news was that there was no bad news and the bad news was that there was no good news. I’m still trying to figure out how many of these assertions were true. Jim Propp PS: My favorite response was from someone pointing out the relevance of the well-known axiom “No news is good news”.
