Question Of The Day #2

You have been captured by the enemy. Because of your bravery, you have been allowed to make a statement (no, not a fashion statement). If you lie, they shoot you. If you tell the truth, they hang you.
*SPOILER ALERT*
They let you go. What did you say?

nothing...

Yes, nothing

ya... nothing, didn't have enough time to be first this time. dang lol

oh or if you had to say something, you could have asked a question, cause that's not really lying OR telling the truth.

he maybe could of asked who they are... thats now lieing or telling the truth

exactly

You are going to shoot me!....

that wouldn't work, because then you would be telling the truth, so they would hang you then shoot your dead body to prove it was true (at least that's what i would do, otherwise they would be really dumb enemies) =P

But that IS the correct answer......

so how do you know thats the correct one and not the "nothing" or a question one, couse if you looked it up then tats cheating lol

I'm 42 years old, lol I've known that riddle for years....

aye, but the younger mind has more ways to find an answer it seems =P cac

Alas, that is the problem with young adults these day's, they are much more willing to lie and cover up, than to just tell the truth and be honest.....a trait much missed these days...even from my own children....

Uberdawg is right and ya'll are n00bz. By saying 'You will shoot me' you would have created a paradox in which they can neither hang or shoot you.

lol... ok but tat doesnt mean e are noobs... GRrrr

no, because they can still shoot you, because they didnt say thet they couldnt do both, so they can shoot you just because, then hang your truth telling body.

you basicly TOLD them to shoot you, so of caurse they will shoot you. now if you sy nothing, your not telling the truth and your not lying, so they can either let you go (stupid) or kill you another way, maybe by starvation or something. Now asking a question, like "Are you going to shoot me?" it may or may not work, for that question, they may just answere yes, and shoot you, now for a question like "can i go pee?" they may laugh and decide to let you go.

However, theres a slim chance they will let you go, unless they put you in a POW camp and either trade you off or your allies come and rescue you.
