General Gasslefield, accused of high treason, is sentenced to death by the court-martial. He is allowed to make a final statement, after which he will be shot if the statement is false or will be hung if the statement is true. Gasslefield makes his final statement and is released. What could he have said?

His last statement is "I am going to be shot" This way they cant shot him because his statement wont be false but if they hang him then his statement wasnt true.

Hi,

I think he could have said:"I´ll be shot."

So he can´t be hung, because then his statement would be wrong. He can´t be shot because his statement would be right then and in that case he would have to be hung.

He must be released!

I like how people repeat the answer you have so as to make it seem that they knew the answer to begin with =\
