12. John Was Watching Television. Just After the Midnight News..

John was watching television. Just after the midnight news there was a weather forecast: "It is raining now and will rain for the next two days. However, in 72 hours it will be bright and sunny.." "WRONG again, snorted John. He was correct but how did he know?

Solution:

John knew that the weather forecast was incorrect because it stated that it would rain for the next two days, but then it would be bright and sunny in 72 hours, which is three days later. Therefore, it contradicts itself by suggesting it would stop raining before the end of the forecast period, and also, 72 hours from midnight would still be dark.
