3) Two possibilities, he is telling the truth or lying. If he was telling the truth, then the statement would be true that everything is a lie, including what he just said. This is a contradiction, so he can't be telling the truth. Can he by lying when he says everything is a lie, and it be logically possible? Yes, since not everything is a lie, but some things could be. So, of the two options, only the second is logically possible. Thus, he is lying.

JCL, again the line between truth and reality and chaos and consequences cannot be overlooked.
Yes, there are 3 repeats but the question itself was not specific enough to identify that and asked "how many letters in" not "how many duplicates of letters".
Question 2 is a conundrom in itself because the presumption is made without properly stating it that the weapon used will leave remains in the tree that dictates a certain size of branch or location on the tree where remains would be left by the type of weapon and ammunition employed. It would also vary on the size of bird and its ability to absorb and survive the impact, getting shot does not necessarily mean the bird leaves remains if it was a clean entry with no exit wound. The birds remains may even be on the ground!
Agree with your reply on 3, its fundamentals are pretty much the same as my reply.
