Committee of Conundrums, Paradoxes, and Other Suchlike Things

The Paradox of the Ship of Theseus

As a committee of esteemed scholars, we've been tasked with resolving the paradox that is the Ship of Theseus.

Legend has it that the ship's wooden planks were replaced one by one, and yet, the ship remained the same.

But what happens when the last plank is replaced, does the ship cease to be the Ship of Theseus?

Or does it become something else entirely?

Our committee has been debating this conundrum for weeks, and we've come to a consensus:

It's a paradox, and therefore, by definition, not a problem to be solved.

But we'll keep trying, because that's what committees do.
