Which is a self-contradictory situation. How can you have failed yet succeeded or succeeded but failed?
Example:
"I must fail this test, to prove that I am not a nerd."
You fail the test.
Therefore, you succeeded in your intended action, that is, you succeeded at failing.
But that does not change the fact that you have actually failed. Succeeding at failing is not success, its failing. But then ironically, success is attaining the goal, which, in this case, was failing..
wait... what?
