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".

This one is as old as dinosaur stuff.
The barber female.
