Tycho lost his nose in TWO separate sword fights!

It was really pretty rough. He said “you can’t cut off my nose because first you have to cut off half my nose”.

That was the first duel.

Then he said “you can’t cut off all my nose because first you have to cut half the remaining nose, and then you have to cut half of that remaining nose, and there’s an infinite sequence of things you need to do and a finite amount of time.”

It’s known, famously with a Danish accent, as “Ze Nose Paradox”.
