How to explain the crocodile paradox?
Crocodile: Will I eat your baby? If you get it right, I will return the child to you unscathed.

Mother: You're going to eat my baby.

No matter what crocodiles do, they are bound to break their promises. If it is returned to the child, the mother is wrong, and it can eat the child. But if it eats the child, the mother is right, so it must hand over the child harmlessly. Crocodiles are caught in a logical paradox and can't get rid of it without violating themselves.
