Carroll Paradox: Also known as
The Carroll paradox is also found in the literature as the Achilles paradox, from the nature of its exposition by Lewis Carroll.
However, the term Achilles paradox is also well established as the name of the paradox of Zeno which questions how Achilles can ever overtake a tortoise in a running race.
