" there arr five mistakus inn this suntence "

Paradox Three: Making a time machine to stop a event in the past from happening...

Define grammar
Does it entail spelling too, or not?

Well, since spelling or grammar mistakes do not count, the only mistakes are the uses of the word "arr" and "inn" because they are completely inappropriate for the context. Therefore there are not five mistakes in the sentence.

Some more mistakes you missed out which then will create a paradox, can you work out why?

Well if the sentence had mistakes, then it would be correct in saying that it had mistakes, therefore it would not be mistaken as it is saying that it is clearly mistaken when in actual fact, it is not.

Which is a very fluffy way of saying "this sentence is false."

The first one...

Lent is the holiday on which you give up things.

So lent(ing) lent would be like not giving up anything.

Well the time machine paradox is very interesting.
If you went back in time to prevent an event in the past from happening, then the events which that particular event led to would also not have happened, therefore the situation would be completely different after a few decades or so, and it might lead to people not existing in the way they currently exist, which may mean that they won't be able to build time machines, therefore the whole going back in time fiasco would never have happened.

Pretty Much, you worked it out!!
Here is a bonus question:

What is Catch 22 and why is it a Paradox?

Catch 22 is a situation which cannot be escaped due to rules which contradict each other. An example of Catch 22 would be:
"1. If you are 18 or older you are not allowed to enter this building,
2. All persons 18 or younger must be accompanied by an adult."

Solution to Paradox Three:

Go back in time and tell my parents to tell me to make a time machine, or else terrible things will happen.

Give me the instructions too.

Also supply specific dates.

"Paradox Three: Making a time machine to stop a event in the past from happening..."
Depends what you do.
If I kill my parents,
Then I wouldn't be born.
And I wouldn't be born to go in the time machine to kill my parents.
