First, thank you all for participating.
Second, you are over thinking the solution.
Third, no one in town has a beard.
Finally, only the barber shaves those who do not shave themselves.
If you want a clue, scroll down.
For some of you the answer is staring you in the mirror.

Barber
Congrats. Yes, the barber is a woman. Not a profession we usually associate with woman, but in the past 5 years I have had my hair cut by women at three separate barber shops.
As far as the discussion topic goes, the original word problem clearly identified the barber as a man, in which case, there is no logical solution. It had to do with quantum electodynamics and esoteric set theory which gets into so very deep stuff

I never thought of the barber being a woman!!!
I should have done because I know that one about the doctor who is the parent of an accident victim being treated in hospital. I've forgotten how it goes, but it is the one that shows that we assume the doctor to be male and his father - but the doctor is his Mother. It was just one which uncovered sexual discrimination........or summink.![Hmm :hmm:](https://www.booktalk.org/images/smilies/ges_hmm.gif)

Only those become weary of angling who bring nothing to it but the idea of catching fish.
