Riddle
While
exploring the wilds of Canada, Wild Man Dave was captured by
hostile wood fairies. Brad, the powerful chief of the fairies
told him he could make one final statement which would determine
how he would die. If the statement he made was false, he would
be boiled in water. If the statement were true, he would be
fried in oil. Wild Man Dave found neither of this options too
his liking, so he made a statement that got him out of this
seemingly impossible situation. What is the one statement he
could have mad
Answer
Wild Man Dave
said: "You will boil me in water." The fairies were
faced with a dilemma. If they boil him in water, that would make
his statement true, which means he should have been fried in
oil. They can only fry him in oil if he makes a true statement,
but if they do, it would make his final statement false. The
fairies had no way our of their situation so they were forced to
set Wild Man Dave free.
