Title: Captured by Cannibals [Solved]
Post by: iago on August 09, 2005, 05:15:26 PM
The great explorer Sajmid was caught by a tribe of cannibals.  The cannibals, being sporting chaps, decided to let Sajmid help decide how he would be cooked.  They said, "If the next thing you say is a lie, we will boil you.  If it's the truth, we'll fry you.  And we'll know if we're lying because we have Super Cannibal Powers". The next thing Sajmid says forces the tribe of cannibals to let him go, based on their arrangement.  What was it he said?

"This sentence is false" (or some other logical paradox).

@Trust: he said something :)

OK, if he has to say something that's fine. It doesn't say it has to be a sentence. He could say "I" - that's not a lie, or truth. Or he could say "a" or "omgwtfbbq" or something.

Everybody else - close
Newby -  yes
Trust - Consider the language like Perl.  Everything returns true, unless it is false.  Even things like "print 'a'" returns true.

Haha. Shut up.

Shouldn't this be marked Solved?
