Prisoners may make one statement. A true statement leads to hanging and a false one to shooting. A prisoner’s statement left the judge unable to apply either punishment consistently, so he was freed. Which could it be?
Choose C. If “I will be shot” is true, the rule demands hanging, making it false. If false, the rule demands shooting, making it true. Either prescribed outcome contradicts the truth classification, unlike the other statements.
