A riddle often perplexes, a question that bewilders: “What gets wetter the more it dries?” The answer lies in the realm of paradoxes, where the expected defies logic. It is a towel, a humble cloth designed to absorb moisture, that becomes wetter the more it attempts to dry. In its quest to remove water, it becomes saturated, its fibers laden with the very substance it seeks to eliminate. This paradoxical nature captures the essence of wiping, where the act of drying results in an increase in wetness, a testament to the intricate relationships between opposing forces.
