Since you guys seem to be enjoying paradox problems, here a whole list of them:

Zeno's my personal favourite.

But if they're a liar then wouldn't them saying they'd lie be them telling the truth?

Chicken. You place chicken before egg in the sentence, thus fore the chicken came first.

They are lying. A person that always tells the truth, by definition, cannot lie. If they are professing to lying, they are lying (either they are lying or lying about the lying), hence they are by definition lying in either case.

This just means "Person X never lies" is a false premise.

The true paradox is someone that says "I always lie". Wrap your head around THAT one.

So, if you always lie, Then that statement is a lie. Meaning you always you tell the truth. But if you're always telling the truth, then why did you just lie. Blah.

I also like:

"The next sentence is false.
The preceding sentence is true."

Simple. If they always tell the truth, they wouldn't have said it.
