Doing some deep thinking in 98* heat

If I tried to fail , did I succeed?

[spinroch]

Maybe

I don't know. I'll let you know when my thinking returns.

Unanswerable question In think. Did you actually fail? If so than you succeeded. But is the actual trying part the conundrum?

[PhilAndTee]

Hmm, if you tried to fail and succeeded, you did fail.

If you tried to fail, and you failed. Simple logic would say you succeeded in meeting your goal. So, YES ! You succeeded.

If you tried to fail, and you didn't fail, then you failed.

Hoping to hear more nonsense.

The following statement is true.
The proceeding statement was false.

Why would you feel compelled to try to fail when virtually all of us are successful at failing without effort?
