Math Is Fun Forum

Unfortunately, Real, he would not be considered a boy if he were working. Also, the term 'man' can be implied to the population of the world as a whole, and as such, can be applied to the population to the town which is a much smaller scale as it doesn't even work that way if we imply that the baber is actually female. Unfortunately, not all of the paradox is there, for yes, it is a paradox, and a nicely woven one as well, for the wording is just magnificent. I actually just read up on said paradox, and I do know the actual answer. However, I have yet to figure out how this is related to math, for every site I've been to so far has given it as a math paradox, when no math is included. What should be up here is a 'heap' paradox, such as this.

Assume the following two statements are true:

1. If you have zero dollars, you are not rich.
2. If you add a dollar, then you are still not rich.

As neither statement states and ending to the cycle, or a point in which you will become rich, and the second statement doesn't state to how much money you are adding said dollar to, you could have an infinite amount of dollars and you would still not be rich.

Oh, yes, the answer. Well, here it is.
