A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free.
What did the man say? Researching not allowed! Answers will be given out later! |

Maybe I'll just explain it again.
My stab at it was the statement "You will sentence me to 6 years in prison." If the statement is true, then he will go to prison for 4 years, which contradicts his "true" statement of six years. If it's false, he'll be sent to 6 years in prison, which makes what he said true, e.g., not false. Either way it contradicts whatever he said. |
