what did the man say?

David · 07-24-2007, 09:34 PM

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?

again.. with this riddle... don't blurt out the answer, and you're a n00b if you search the answer on the internet.

Did he say an opinion?

Ah. The classic truth/lie scenario. I know the answer, but I'll let others guess

This riddle's answer is more of a joke than a logical answer.

here it is:

He said, "You'll sentence me to six years in prison." If it was true, then the judge would have to make it false by sentencing him to four years. If it was false, then he would have to give him six years, which would make it true. Rather than contradict his own word, the judge set the man free.
