Question

A prisoner is told “If you tell a lie we will hang you;
If you tell the truth we will shoot you”.
What can he say to save himself ?

Answer 1

The prisoner can save himself by telling-

"You will hang me"

They cannot hang him, because they can only hang him when he tells a lie.

They also cannot shoot him, because they can only shoot him when he tells the truth.

He can also say it the alternate way- "You will shoot me"

This way the prisoner can save himself.
