A spy is caught by the enemy. He must get stay alive to get away, but he is told that if he tells a lie he will be hung, and if he tells the truth he will be shot. What can he say without being killed?
Well, take a crack at it! :wink:

That one's pretty easy. He says "You're going to hang me." If they thought he was lying they'd hang him, but that would me he's telling the truth. If they shot him, then that would be a lie and they should have hung him, creating a paradox.

Dude just rename the title of your others and make a new post. They are good riddles yet they don't deserve 27 new topics. Sorry about being blunt.
I'd say that this is not possible to answer although i know it is.
K..I think these riddles are in the mental abyss of just being annoying now.
So, if you dun mind Kanji...could you just stop posting these conundrums/riddles? I mean the first 3 or whatever were fine but after that it just got annoying, espcially since some of them are anwsered so quickly. I think I speak for a majority of the people here when I say this. kthx ji-, er, i mean, kanji.
he'll say nothing.
but yeah dont make 27 new posts. the first few where cool but now its like a riddle crazy senseless banter place here. wheres my senseless banter? Come on I want to talk about beer and boobs. So please. stfukthxbye (I mean that in the nicest possible way)
Fair enough. I will stop. :)
Or you could just make one big post where everyone can post riddles or something. :wink:
How about just stop making new topics, and just put them all in one! I happen to like these riddles, but making only one topic would get rid of the clutter problem. :D
EDIT: Oops that sounded harsh... ill add a smiley to the end of that
im fine with the riddles. just, the 27 new topics for it are annoying.
A big post for all of them would be fun!
Yes, but if they don't hang him, then he was lying because he says, "You're going to hang me." And just like you said, if they hang him then he was telling the truth, therefore they should've shot him, but then he would've been lying, therefore they should've hanged him. So what do they do if he's lying, but they cannot do anything about it without proving him to be telling the truth or a lie?Quote:

Riddles..are not my ..style..*stays silent* :)
