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? IP Logged DeMark Full Member     Gender: Posts: 280 Re: What did General Smith say?   « Reply #1 on: Nov 10th, 2004, 11:22am » Quote Modify Oh, not again.

That's a statement without any truth value I wonder how often he's been accused before than, though, if he says "oh, not again" IP Logged Wikipedia, Google, Mathworld, Integer sequence DB Grimbal wu::riddles Moderator Uberpuzzler     Gender: Posts: 7527 Re: What did General Smith say?   « Reply #3 on: Nov 10th, 2004, 3:52pm » Quote Modify 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.

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.
