General Smith, accused of high treason,
is sentenced to death by the court-martial.
He is allowed to make a final statement,
after which he will be shot if the statement is false  
or will be hung if the statement is true.
 
 
General Smith makes his final statement and is released.
The Question: What could he have said?

hehe..
That's a statement without any truth value Tongue
I wonder how often he's been accused before than, though, if he says "oh, not again" Wink

He can always claim:
"Prince Wiliam of Wales will never be King".
You'll probably die before they can say whether it is true or not.
 
OK, maybe it is not so safe.  I just remembered that my mother told me the story that when Prince Charles was born, an astrologer claimed that he will never be a King.  Who can tell if it is true?  I'm still curious.  But whether it is true or not, that astrologer knew his job.

Ok, how about a general rule to everyone? Don't post riddles that you find on google. Thousands of people have visited this site and chances are that "your" riddle has already been posted at least 5 times.

i guess all he had to say was something like: "i will be shot". if that were true, they'll have to hang him. but then it would be untrue so they'll have to shoot him, and so on. they got fed up and let him go... Cool
