¿Question #756?
EndersGame: Does the set of all those sets that do not contain themselves contain itself?

BOBBYCAN: Set on it and rotate, Ender.
haroth9842: Such set doesn't exist.
MartinWin: That's not a valid definition of a set. It would be the same if you ask: "Does the set of all words that are more beatiful than 'red' contains the word 'tea'?
doctor poo: This is a strange set of questions.
Woelf: Well, duh!

confuse_a_cat: That depends. What logic are you using?
MDettmer81: This is a paradox. I suggest that you ask a pair of ducks.

Cerebus: Undecided.
mrbeankc: I am afraid so
sourwyrm: dumb question
bekudno: Is the word 'non-self-descriptive' self-descriptive? (e.g. 'pentasylabic' is self-discriptive, 'edible' is not)
Lord_Prussian: This is why I switched from Math major to History.
