No paradox–it just shows that Pinnochio lives in a possible world in which there can be living dolls who grow monkey ears, but no simultaneous causation. If he uttered ‘now’ at t, then given that the cause must come prior in time to its effect, his nose wouldn’t start growing until t+1 (or, if this was a case of backward causation, his nose had already grown at t-1 for this particular false utterance).
Especially interesting since it was lying, not falsehood-telling, that got him in trouble.
