*head implodes*

Newcomb's "Paradox"

 It seems simple, right? But as you look at it more, your head explodes.

What would you choose? I would pick B only. There's no risk if the predictor is as good as has been said.

I like this paradox, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno%27s_paradoxes

scroll down unitll you see the the dichotomy paradox and read that

I like the grandfather paradox the best. Denjin_hadouken

aha yes that one

Holy crud.

That only counts if there's a designated amount of space you are to travel at a time. If you go at a normal pace you don't count in halves...

Before you take a step you have to take a half-step, before that you must take a quarter-step, ad nauseam. Logic dictates that you can't actually START anything, since everything requires something else to be done first. We know this isn't true, causing the paradox.

seems simple enough to meinyourface_12

So, what would you do? If you pick A & B, the predictor probably predicted it, meaning you get nothing. You can't pick only A. If you pick only B, you get $1,000,000, but you could get more if you picked A & B, however, this would defy the predictor, meaning he predicted it, meaning you get nothing...

B

Better $1000 than nothing
