The 4 way stop is also a perfect example of a paradox. If everyone followed the rules to the exact letter and no one is capable of breaking the rules; if 4 people come to a 4 way stop at the exact time, who goes first?

There is not a designated rule as to who should go first. It is recommended that you wait for the most aggressive driver to make the first move and then proceed with caution.

That's when you all get out and have a death match in the intersection to establish seniority.

That almost never happens, and if and when it does, it would be totally acceptable to all wave at eachother for social credit points like idiots til I hit the gas and make an executive decision.
