Smullyan’s Paradox

 






 

http://www.futilitycloset.com/2009/08/10/smullyans-paradox/

At a desert oasis, A and B decide independently to murder C. A poisons C's canteen, and later B punches a hole in it. C dies of thirst. Who killed him?

A argues that C never drank the poison. B claims that he only deprived C of poisoned water. They're both right, but still C is dead. Who's guilty?
