Ulam Paradox

Post by 93Regina »

The famous mathematician Stanislaw Ulam thought of the following
paradox, which is now known as the Ulam Paradox: When President
Richard Nixon was appointed to office, on the first day he met his
cabinet he said to them: ‘None of you are yes-men, are you?’ And they
all said, ‘NO!’
