There is a man in a town that shaves all and only those that do not shave themselves. That is, this barber shaves x if and only if x does not shave x, for all x.
Does the barber shave himself?

No...The Barber does not shave himself...

X = The Barber...

That is, this barber shaves himself if and only if he does not shave himself, because he is not a barber...then he does not shave anyone else, nor himself either...
