Talk:Mathematical paradoxes
"The number of phrases shorter than 100 letters is finite. In fact, it can't exceed 27100." While true, you wouldn' start or finish with a space and multiple spaces would logicaly be treated as a single space. Just sayin'.

This article needs more goat![edit]
It does. This thing is dry as the Sahara. Anything we can do? The Heidelberg Kid (talk) 02:54, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
excessively long phrase divided by itself = ickle number[edit]
Consider the number described by the phrase
"The square root of thirty-six"
Phrases can denote numbers clearly and unambiguously, can't they?
Am I being a dumb-arse here, or was the writer of that? Either I'm being a dumb-arse and not acknowledging this is rhetorical, or the writer didn't know the square root of 36 is 6, or minus 6.

PS, can someone remind me if zero is a natural number or not too.
Inclusion of statistical paradoxes[edit]
I wanted to update this article to include some paradoxes that appear in statistics, such as Simpson's paradox. Would those additions fit with the rest of the article? I ask because not everyone considers statistics to be part of mathematics proper, but I also can't think of enough statistical paradoxes to warrant their own article. — Unsigned, by: Gabaghoul / talk / contribs
