A young man walks through the forest. He comes to a bridge. In front of the bridge is a large man carrying an axe. The man says, "If you want to cross this bridge, you must tell me a statement. If I think the statement is true, you will be strangled to death. If I say the statement is false, your head will be chopped off." A few minutes later, the young man walked over the bridge, while the larger man stood pondering. What was the statement the young man had given?

I'd just like to note that being strangled and having your head chopped off are not mutually exclusive. So even if you say "You will chop my head off", you might get strangled and then have your head chopped off.
