ANSWER THIS HARD RIDDLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10 points~?

He said, "You'll sentence me to six years in prison." If it was true, then the judge would have to make it false by sentencing him to four years. If it was false, then he would have to give him six years, which would make it true. Rather than contradict his own word, the judge set the man free.

What i don't understand is why people keep answering this question with the same answer haha.... Yet here i am doing it myself... (sorry to be a hypocrite)...

"You'll sentence me to six years in prison."

That was a very good riddle by the way!! Keep it up! =)

I'd say his statement was something on this order, he spoke in a low whispered voice in to the judge's ear and said, "Judge, you're going to do better than that. You're going to release me because you're not real anxious for people to know what your "wife's" name is that I saw you with last night."

You'll sentence me to six years in prison. Wasn't as hard as you think huh?

You'll sentence me to 6 years in prison...

well actually, it doesn't matter what he says as long as its an opinion, a stated opinion has no correct or incorrect answer, thus he wasn't sentenced to 4 or 6 years.

I'm going to prison for six years.

I will be sentenced to six years in prison.

This creates a convenient impossibility.

"I plea to the fifth!"

or

"I will take the sentence of 6 years!"

Also the judge has to tell the man his rights before asking him to make a statement. It is actually a part of the law, 5th amendment. I think.
