Default Barber - was: UPDATE: Apologies

Given: There is a male barber in a small town that shaves every man
in the town who does not shave himself.

Question: Who shaves the barber?

There are three possibilities:
* He shaves himself,
* He isn't shaved at all.
* Someone else shaves him.

All three possibilities violate the given condition.


Not the first two, according to the syntax provided in your "given"
statement".
