A Conversation for Paradoxes
That's no paradox!

I mean, the Martian's story is not a paradox. For if he was telling the truth, it would mean he's a liar, so he's lying, a contradiction. So we know he is lying. Henceforth, we can say that *at least* one Martian is no liar.
As a byproduct of this, we get the existence of at least one other Martian (one who tells the truth).
