This is said to be among the greatest paradox
Many years ago, a Lawteacher came across a student who was willing to learn but was unable topay the fees. The student struck a deal saying, "I will pay your fee theday I win my first case in the court".
Teacher agreed and proceeded with the law course. When the course wasfinished and teacher started pestering the student to pay up the fee,the student reminded him of the deal and pushed days. Fed up with this,the teacher decided to sue the student in the court of law and both ofthem decided to argue for themselves.
The teacher put forward his argument saying: "If I win this case, as perthe court of law, the student has to pay me as the case is about hisnon-payment of dues. And if I lose the case, student will still pay mebecause he would have won his first case. So either way I will have toget the money".
Equally brilliant, the student argued back saying: "If I win the case,as per the court of law, I don't have to pay anything to the teacher asthe case is about my non-payment of dues. And if I lose the case, Idon't have to pay him because I haven't won my first case yet. So eitherway, I am not going to pay the teacher anything". This is one of thegreatest paradoxes ever recorded in history
