The word "conundrum" is new to me. The word "paradox" sounds the same in many languages, so it's familiar to me. The meaning of all phrases can be understood. Your explanation is so clear! Thanks a lot!

that very good

Today i've known new facts about deep-sea mining. I think it's good for our health too. I would try deep-sea mining. In my opinion it helps to relax our mind. Also i tried it on the game only. Scientists says that 70 percent of water are unexplored. I think there are more types of fish that we can imagine
