How Did Richard Get His Date with Eva

Richard asked his two questions together: "Would you go out with me this Saturday night?" and, "Is your answer to this question the same as your answer to my previous question?" To be logical and consistent, Eva couldn't give "No" as an answer to Richard's first question. Because, if she answered "No" to the first question, it would become impossible for her to answer the second question logically.

Suppose Eva said "No" in responding to Richard's first question. To the second inquiry "Is your answer to this question the same as your answer to my previous question?" Eva would want to answer "Yes." But in that case, her answer to the second question was in fact "Yes," not "No," and therefore not the same as her answer to the first question. If to the inquiry "Is your answer to this question the same as your answer to my previous question?" Eva answered "No," she was being illogical again because her answer to the second questions was indeed "No" and therefore the same as her answer to the first question. To avoid this conflict, Eva must answer "Yes" to both questions.
