Q
If Pinocchio says 'My nose will grow now,' what happens?
A
Expert Answer
This creates a paradox. If his nose grows, he told the truth, so it shouldn't grow. If it doesn't grow, he lied, so it should grow. The paradox assumes the fairy's magic follows strict logic—it may simply not respond to self-referential statements.
