Lol, thats an awesome philosophical question. I suppose in the context of the question the answer would be yes you have failed cause the only way you would succeed is if you fail.

Does this mean:
-You set out with the intention of failing and didn't fail, you succeeded instead?
or
-You set out with the intention of failing and did?
If it's the second one then yes, you did fail, because you intended to fail and you did. fail.

It's not really a paradox I don't think. It's two separate things really; the first being the original task, and the second being the outcome of that task afterwards. Although the main thing that would answer the question is how you feel - and if you actually aimed to fail but succeeded, then I still think you would be unhappy and thus still feel like a failure (even more so, in an ironic sense).
