Tight Corner - One puzzle a day - Puzzle Buddies

Puzzle: A King asked one of his prisoners,

"State a sentence. If it is false, you will be hanged. If it is true, you will be shot to death."

The prisoner wants to live. Can you help him with a sentence?

Solution: A problem like this can only be solved with a paradox, a statement neither true nor false. By stating "I will be hanged" he has rendered both the conditions false and saved himself.
