Paradoxes
Simple: It's 100% Fiction.So I had this imaginary friend named Bob who is really smart and has an IQ of 200. One day, I gave him the idea of creating a time machine, an idea that surprisingly enough he would never have thought of. He created the machine and time traveled back to before we met each other. Then, he accidentally killed me. So then, I died before I gave him the idea for creating a time machine. But then he never got the idea for creating the machine, never created it, and never killed me. So then since I survived up to giving him the idea, he created the machine and traveled back in time and killed me. But then he never got the idea and…My question is, if he's your imaginary friend, how the heck did he build a time machine.
This story is 100% fiction.

There's Great
News, and then there's BAD 
News. The great news is that the evil kumquats have given up on eating signatures!
The BAD news is (removed by guavas - bow down to your guava overlords).

Here's one: Pinocchio says, “My nose will grow right after I say this!” Will his nose grow or not? COMPLETELY PARADOXICAL! There is another paradox in my signature.

I'm not missing the point. In fact, I was originally going to post a reply pointing out every single incidence in this forum that that paradox, or something like it, is mentioned. Note: It's a lot of occurrences.
Sorry. Meant to post that one in a different forum.
But this is the paradox forum…
…wait, is there another paradox forum?
Also, both paradoxes are mentioned in a different form (not forum, form) in this forum (not form, forum).

News, and then there's BAD News. The great news is that the evil kumquats have given up on eating signatures!

PARADOXES!
Let's say you have a time machine.
1) You decide to go back to the time your parents met for the first time.
You accidentally prevented them from meeting.
If they don't meet, then you would not be born.
If you were not born, you couldn't go back in time to prevent your parents from meeting.
Your parents would meet, and you would be born.
You would go back and prevent your parents from meeting
Etc.
What would actually happen?
Why time travel does not exist.

The alternate universe theory.
When you go back and separate your parents, you're creating an alternate universe. In the original universe, your parents till meet each other.

And all the world over, each nation's the same,
They've simply no notion of playing the game.
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won,
And they practice beforehand, which ruins the fun!

Original answer 1 of 1: No. You never said that the goal was to also pass the test.
Revised answer 1 of 1: Maybe

No it says answer incorrectly which can be interpreted as answering in the wrong way like answering a whole different question.
