The Execution Loophole
Riddle:
General Gasslefield is sentenced to death. If he tells the truth, he’ll be hanged. If he lies, he’ll be shot. What does he say to go free?
Answer:
Answer: “I will be shot.” Explanation: If it’s true, he should be hanged, making it false. If false, he should be shot, making it true. The paradox means neither sentence fits, so he goes free.
