The crocodile paradox goes like this: A crocodile has captured a little boy but being the crocodile with integrity, the crocodile promises to release the little boy to his father if only the father can predict what the crocodile is going to do next. The father then predicts that the crocodile won't return his son to him. This puts the crocodile in a bind because if the crocodile doesn't return the little boy to his father then the father's prediction is correct and if the crocodile keeps the little boy then he isn't keeping his promise. But if the crocodile returns the little boy, the fathers prediction becomes incorrect, what should the crocodile do?
