Since you seem doubtful, I have seen it, and Lawrence will see it, since we've been discussing his answer in chat. It looks like somebody else may have as well (I have not voted on this answer, at least as of yet and Lawrence has left after our discussion.) Also, you may just want to reconsider those degrees of formality, as the synonymous definition of paradox came well before the logicians misappropriated it, but alas that's another matter entirely. — TonepoetApr 21 at 1:31

What would the mechanism for the reaction between 2-(chloromethyl)furan and potassium cyanide be, as detailed below?
I know that for 6-membered rings (such as pyridine) the chloride is replaced with the cyanide anion, however, I'm not sure as to how the mechanism differs between the two in a way...
