Okay, hopefully somebody can help me out with this. I have spent multiple hours trying to find it with absolutely no luck. At the old huddle site, there was a riddle game posted with multiple levels that if you entered the wrong answer, you had to start all over. I remember one of the last levels being about a book with 999 pages and how many were lying. So my question is does anybody remember the name of this riddle game or how to get to it?

I believe this was the riddle:

You find a very strange book, it has 1000 pages.

The First page says: "1 page is lying."
The second page says: "2 pages are lying"
........
The 1000th page says: "1,000 pages are lying"



Only 1 page is telling the truth, which one is it?

Yeah, you're right. But that was just a level in the game. I'm trying to find the name of the game or the site that it's at...

999 ... if only 1 page is telling the truth, then 999 must be lying

How can 999 be both lying AND telling the truth? I'm cornfused.

The riddle says that 1 page is telling the truth. The book has 1000 pages, so by logic, 999 pages are lying if 1 is telling the truth.

So page 999 says "999 pages are lying," the only accurate statement.

Pg. 999 says "999 pages are lying." aka he is telling the truth and the other 999 pages are lying.
