"Are you lying?"
If you say yes, then you wouldn't be lying...
"Are you asleep?"
Are you me?
Are you dead?
Is up down?
If you lose both legs, do you have a leg to stand on in an arguement? (jk)
etc etc etc
are you asleep?
are you dead?
-are you unable to communicate?
-which english word is the opposite of yes?....hehe
There can be many possible answers as noticed by Natasha, and Will
ONE OBVIOUS ANSWER IS
----------------------------
"Are you sleeping ?"
what if you talk in your sleep? just asking ;-)
Even if you talk on sleep , IMHO you won't be conscious to answer the question
R U DEAD
Can you give me a picture of god?
What does Y...E...S spell?
A rhetorical question.
"How many times do I have to tell you to stop walking into the house with mud on your shoes"
"Can you believe it's not butter?"
Bear in mind you are under oath.
"Are you dead" doesn't count, seeing as that you can't answer anything. OR if you believe in spirits walking the earth, then they CAN answer.
"Are you lying" doesn't count unless you're really specific about what they're lying about. To be exact, you can say "Will you respond to this question with a lie?"
"Is up down" doesn't count, seeing as that our down is China's up.
I have mixed feelings on "are you asleep" only because when I sleep light, I can hear things around me and I am able to answer... I don't know if there's a level of unconsciousness that defines 'sleep.' To be REALLY technical, I could have an out-of-body experience an answer that question. Once again, you'd have to believe in that crud.
I can give you a picture of God. But I'm no artist =D
Obvious answers would be "Is peanut butter a swing set?" and any other two totally different things. "Is the answer to this question no?" would be the breadwinner for me.
Since we're speaking on being truthful, you can ask someone if they'll give you a billion dollars... if they say yes, please give me their address and phone number!
Also, the question doesn't say whether there can be information presented prior o the question. Here's a cute paradox:
He places before me a vial of toxin that, if I drink it, will make me painfully ill for a day, but will not threaten my life or have any lasting effects. . . . The billionaire will pay me one million dollars tomorrow morning if, at midnight tonight, I intend to drink the toxin tomorrow afternoon. He emphasizes that I need not drink the toxin to receive the money; in fact, the money will already be in my bank account hours before the time for drinking it arrives, if I succeed. . . . All I have to do is . . . intend at midnight tonight to drink the stuff tomorrow afternoon. I am perfectly free to change my mind after receiving the money and not drink the toxin.
A possible interpretation: Can you intend to drink the toxin, if you know you don't have to?
Is this a rhetorical question?
how many days are in a year
365 days or 366
Are you dead?
Are you lying?
Are you asleep?
You're playing a game. Let's Say someone said something mean, And you ask someone was that too mean? Just to please you they answer no, but the answer was yes, they lose the game. THe answer is always the opposite of what you say, so if you say: Is there a way to win this game? If you answer yes, you lose the game because it was the wrong answer, If you say no it is wrong because it violates the fact that you can't win the game.
"What question you can never answer yes to?"
Mathematical questions like "2+2", because 2+2= yes sounds kind of retarded.
if you had to make a new letter of the alphabet what would it be?
