It seemed like a good idea to start a blog, given it seems to be almost de rigueur these days. What will the blog be about, I hear you cry…
Well, as the name “The Puzzle Blog” suggests, it will mainly be about puzzles, with all sorts of logic and word puzzles on offer. However content won’t necessarily be exclusively puzzle related with occasional meanderings and tangental (at best) content likely.
As a starter for no points, here is a political teaser to do with identity - identity cards to be precise. Is this a paradox or just a bit of fun?
The government is planning on introducing identity cards (or so it seems). We will be able to use these to prove our identity, as presumably we can’t do this at present. Now, how do you pick up the identity card, as if it will prove who you are, you need to prove who you are before you are issued it so the card goes to the right person.
If you need your identity card to pick up your identity card, then identity cards are unnecessary and a total waste of money. However, if you don’t need your identity card to pick up your identity cards, because your passport or other current document is sufficient to prove identity, then identity cards are unnecessary and a total waste of money.
