A small village has only two barbers.
One has a sharp, neat haircut. The other looks scruffy.
Which one do you go to?

Question

Accepted Answer

The scruffy one — because each barber must have cut the OTHER’s hair. — There are only two barbers, so one cut the other’s. The neatly groomed barber is the work of the scruffy one. Visual evidence, inverted.
