Wednesday Puzzle!

[Lrjtcaptain]

A soldier has been captured by the enemy. He has been so brave that they offer to let him choose how he wants to be killed. They tell him, "If you tell a lie, you will be shot, and if you tell the truth, you will be hanged." He can make only one statement. He makes the statement and goes free. What did he say?

 

[Ailerongirl]

He says "I want to be killed by old age"

It's not a lie, for if he had to choose, this is the best way to go.

It's not the truth for he'd rather not be killed at all.

They had to let him go for he told neither truth, nor lie.

 

[Lrjtcaptain]

NOPE

 

[Ailerongirl]

Yeah, well I tried!

Any other takers?

Maybe some who are a little smarter than me?

He said nothing.

answer:

He said, "I will be shot." If he were shot, it would be the truth, and if they hanged him it would be a lie. So they let him go free.

So they hung him and then shot him.
