Like somebody mentioend before I recommend all Smullyan's Books. I have personally three of them:
The lady or the Tiger
The riddle of Scherezade
What is the Name of this Book?
All are great, and I always return to them :-).
And btw, I don't think somebody mentioned it before, but there is a way to prove, that it is possible to create a triangle with two right angles (90 degrees). How?
According to the "
The riddle of Scherezade"
, there is mathemetacial rule which goes like that:
0.99999...=1 , because:
x=0.99999... /*10
10x=9.99999...
10x-x=9.99999...-0.99999...
9x=9 /:9
x=1
So we create a triangle with two 89.9999... degrees. After infinite distance they should connect and create a triangle, with the third angle equal to 0.0000...1 (It is of course impossible to draw such triangle). But wait, haven't I said before, that 0.999...=1? So 89.9999...=90. So we have triangle with such degrees:
90 (89.999...)
90 (89.999...)
0.00000...1
(This is also a proof that it is possible to create a triangle where the sum of the angles is bigger than 180:
90+90+0.0000...1=180.00000...1 Am I right?)
So either we must say, that it is possible to create a triangle with two 90 degree angles (And therefore triange where angles' sum is larger than 180), or change the rule, and say this:
x=0.99999... /*10
10x=9.99999...0
10x-x=9.99999...0-0.99999...
9x=8.99999...1 /:9
x=0.99999...
Is it true? Hehe...
