You will hang me
mdobbs6856:
yea
JAIDENGYMNASTIC:
uhhh dont get it can you explain
mdobbs6856:
You will hang me. If they hang him, then the statement was true and they could only hang him for telling a lie. If they shoot him, then it makes the statement a lie and they were only to shoot him for telling the truth. An alternate solution is to say, “You will not shoot me,” leading to the same quandary for the killers.
