An adventurer was exploring a jungle before he was taken away by natives as a hostage. The natives took him to the village wiseman and he said:

"For walking on our holy land you are sentenced to death, however you have one chance to be set free, you are granted one last statement. If it is true, you will be fed to tigers, if it is false, you will be thrown off a cliff."

The adventurer made his last statement and he was set free, what did he say?

"I will be thrown off a cliff and I will be spared being eaten by tigers."

The flaw in the logic here is that while this statement does paradoxically nullify both of the threatened death sentences above, it does not logically disallow the natives to administer death by any other means or in any way, by their purposed logic, force them to release the adventurer. However, I do feel that it's a pretty good guess ;)

Is it something like 'I want to die'?

Or alternatively, 'Does my arse look big in this?' :p

ohh yeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh
I was gonna just put "I will be thrown off a cliff" but then over thought it and decided to include a clause for the tigers, as well.

I've considered your riddle for some time, Devil, and the best I can think is that I'd crack it open first and then drop the raw egg onto the floor. The raw egg would splatter all over the floor without technically cracking, because it's just a bunch of yolk and egg white... but I don't know that that's the answer you were looking for ;)

Lol nope sorry keep guessing guys :)

is the answer to your riddle...........
the adventurer said: "you will feed me to the tigers" the natives were faced with the dilemma, if they fed him to the tigers,that his statement would be true. which means he should be thrown off the cliff...they can only throw him of the cliff if makes a true statment. the natives had no way out of their siuation so they were forced to set him free!

????????

I was going to say that he could say an opinion, such as "i think tacos are awesome" but if he really thinks tacos are awesome, than what he said is true. If he hates tacos, then what he said was false.
