One Statement
Riddle: A criminal was brought forth in the court. The judge told him, "You can make one statement. If you lie you will be sentenced to 6 years in prison. If you say the truth you will be sentenced to 4 years in prison." After hearing that the criminal said one statement that forced the judge to set him free. What did the criminal say?
Answer: The criminal said " You will sentence me to 6 years in prison." because then if the criminal is telling the truth he will be sentenced to 6 years in prison though he should have been sentenced to 4 years because he was telling the truth. But if he is lying then they will sentence him to 4 years in prison. though they should have sentenced him to 6 years because he was lying. Because of this the judge will have to let him go.
