One puzzle a day — logical, philosophical, statistical, temporal.
Paradox of the Day is a daily-rotating reading of one paradox — sometimes logical, sometimes philosophical, sometimes statistical or temporal. Each entry includes the puzzle, the attribution, a short editorial note placing it in context, and a small typographic glyph for the puzzle’s shape.
Some of these are more than two thousand years old (the Liar, the Sorites, Achilles and the Tortoise) and have not been settled. Some emerged in the twentieth century (Russell, Banach–Tarski, Newcomb, Simpson) and reshaped a discipline. The thing they have in common is that the puzzle survives a careful explanation. A paradox you can resolve in a paragraph wasn’t a paradox to begin with.
