November 16
Tom and Jim have gone back together. Together they meet Tom and Jim, who are more than a little surprised to see them. Jim (November 16) is told of the plan, and he agrees to have Jim (November 17) cut his hair, since he usually cuts it himself anyhow.
As Jim's locks (of November 16) fall, nothing whatever happens to
Jim's locks (Jim of November 17). Is this a paradox? Jim's hair (of November 16) is four inches long now, but Jim's hair (of November 17) is five!
With a sense of impending doom, Tom and Jim (of November 17) step into the time machine to return to November 17.
