This puzzle is stupid. You will be able to clearly tell in which box the car is in the first place. Or you got some massive fuckin' goats in there.

As much as our mutual dislike goes, and despite we think eachother are pricks - you're a funny mother****er.

This isn't really a paradox either unless you clause the first statement to make itself true. It just means that the first sentence is calling itself false.

The next statement is true
v
The previous statement is alse
=
This statement of the next line's truthfulness is false
v
The previous line's statement of falseness is false

what?

if the first sentence is calling itself false that means that the next statement is not true, but false, which would mean that the statement "the previous statement is false" is false, so the first statement is true, which contradicts the first claim you just made. how are you saying this isn't a paradox?

Because the second statement could just be pointing out that the falseness of the first statement is actually false.
