* If the barber does not shave himself, he must abide by the rule and shave himself.
* If he does shave himself, according to the rule he will not shave himself.

That's the point. He proposes an impossible paradox. Realising it's impossible = solving it, when most people are distracted trying to answer question.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense. Paradoxes are tricky like that. I read this one today while learning about Bertrand Russell. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/russell/
This paradox is called the Barber Paradox. Russell made a similar paradox which goes like this, Some classes have themselves as members: the class of all abstract objects, for example, is an abstract object. Others do not: the class of donkeys is not itself a donkey. Now consider the class of all classes that are not members of itself. If it is, then it is not, and if it is not, then it is.

The barber didn't shave his hair, he lit his hair on fire!
Brilliant!

the barber is a form of mentality in the brain where psychology interpret as a barber in the location this however is impossible as the village there is a time loop of function x and the time z doesnt match according to the universal compound of matter which disfunct between human genes. for this to be true the barber would have to be on jupiter and he would have to have stood over 700 feet tall. There fore the barber cannot cut the hair of the person or componding refunding his own. The barber cannot exist in z any y x coordinates at the same time. THis is known as a payroinada function where the barber is trapped in the parabola, hyperbola and inverse all at the same time thus creating proton charges going 3x the speed of light solving the universe is one giant atom.
