There's this logic puzzle I remember. A man is sentenced to death and told he will be executed in April, but also told he won't know when it will happen. He gets thrown into the dungeon and starts to think.

MOVING ON PAST THE INTERRUPTIONS. He thinks, "Well, if I make it to April 30 and haven't been killed, since I know I'm sentenced to die in April, and since the 30th is the last day, I can't be killed on that day because I know the 30th is the last chance, and they won't kill me on a day I know I'm going to be killed."
- Stephen Mack
"So therefore it won't be April 30."

You can't prolong the service getting shutdown by making a long post.
- Cristo
"But if I make it to April 29, since I know it can't be the 30th when I die, it has to be the 29th when they kill me."

"86 beers on the wall, 86 bottles of beer. Take one down, pass it around, 85 bottles of beer on the wall."
- Cristo
"But on April 29th, I know I'll be killed that day, but I can't be, since I know it has to be that day, and they told me I won't know. So it can't be April 29th either."
- Stephen Mack
And by repeating that logic, he realizes it can't be the 28, or the 27, or the 26, or, in fact, any day in April.

Now he's vowed to never sleep with a woman again, because he can never know when he might end up in April.
