    Either yes or no will invalidate this answer, you presented a paradox, you go figure it out

    I’d say this is a simple one:

    What you describe is paradoxical reasoning. Very simple to detect based on some boolean logic (if statement A is true this implies statement B is true, if statement B is false this implies statement A to be false, if statement A is true but this is reset by statement B then ‘paradox’).

    The same can be done for circular reasoning (A is true if B is true, B is true if A is true).

    So I shall ignore the question....lol

    If I ask you for 10M gold, will your answer to that question be the same to this question?

    Actually, if you say yes, it would be incorrect because you are not selecting "no" as you answer, but if you choose no, that would also be incorrect because you just chose no, therefore it has no answer. Just to clarify!

    I decline to answer that question on the grounds that it would incriminate me! The answer may also depend on what the definitions of "yes" and "no" are...
