The Pinocchio paradox arises in the hypothetical situation when Pinocchio says "My nose will grow" and is a version of the liar paradox. The liar paradox is defined in philosophy and logic as the statement "This sentence is false." Any attempts to assign a classical binary truth value to this statement lead to a contradiction, or paradox.
