Puzzle 29

Hi!

It's the last day of school for this semester! Have fun and enjoy the long deserved break!
Anyway, here's the puzzle...

CONNED

Difficulty: Hard

 

An old man, who had a deaf wife, met a conman who claimed that he could make her hear if she opened an envelope he had on him.

Believing the conman, the old man purchased the envelope at a hefty price and brought it to his wife.

When she opened the envelope, the old man realised that the conman was in fact telling the truth, yet oddly enough his wife did not recover her hearing.

So... what was in the envelope?

Do remember to leave your guesses as comments! :)

Okay, now for the answer to the previous puzzle... drag your mouse over the empty space below to reveal the answer!

You would notice that the heterological is neither autological nor heterological.

Heterological can't be heterological because it that case it describes itself, which would make it autological.

But heterological can't be autological either because that would be self-contradictory.
