Is it a contradiction?

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Got this off a mate: When one does not know what it is, then it is something; but when one knows what it is, then it is nothing. What is it?

Nothing as nothing is simultaneously nothing and something.

When you don't know what it is then it is nothing, which is something and when you know what it is then it is nothing because it is nothing.

edit: MJ already said that.

 

[eth-dog]

Is it a contradiction?

Not quite. The closest was a riddle. Insert a different adjective and it works

Wrong, it is part of Genesis. There are many other stories in there.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Yeah, but it is still Genesis as it is a part of Genesis.

Answer...The Bloody Mary curse

Bloody Mary is a ghost or witch featured in English folklore. She is said to appear in a mirror when her name is called three times or sometimes more while in a dark room, depending upon the version of the story, often as part of a game or dare.

In some versions of the legend, the summoner must say, "Bloody Mary, I killed your baby." In these variants, Bloody Mary is often believed to be the spirit of a young mother whose baby was stolen from her, making her mad with grief, eventually committing suicide. In stories where Mary is supposed to have been wrongly accused of killing her children, the querent might say "I believe in Mary Worth." This is similar to another game involving the summoning of the Bell Witch in a mirror at midnight. The game is often a test of courage and bravery, as it is said that if Bloody Mary is summoned, she would proceed to kill the summoner in an extremely violent way, such as ripping their face off, scratching their eyes out, cutting their head off, driving them insane, bringing them into the mirror with her or scratching their neck, causing serious injury or death. Some think if she doesn't kill the one who had summoned her then she will haunt them for the rest of their life. Other versions tell that if one chants her name thirteen times at midnight into a mirror she will appear and the summoner can talk to a deceased person until 11:08a.m., when Bloody Mary and the dead person asked to speak to will vanish. Still other variations say that the querent must not look directly at Bloody Mary, but at her image in the mirror; she will then reveal the querent's future, particularly concerning marriage and children.[1]
