Whoever said logic was infallible? Certainly not the German logicians who, in 1908, discovered this mind-bending paradox. Learn how they beat reason at its own game, all by asking a single question about two simple words. Don't skimp out or you'll miss the surprise twist at the end! Plus: a very brief, totally not copyright-infringing appearance by The Sorting Hat.
