The Greatest Riddle Ever Thread

OK , here's how it works . I ask for the Answer to a Riddle and whomever Answers Correctly in turn asks another Riddle . If the Riddle cannot be Answered by anyone in a reasonable amount of time , then the Answer will be given to all and then someone else asks the Next Riddle .

I'll start it off with this one .




RIDDLE -


A man was to be sentenced and the judge told him you may make a statement. If you tell the truth I'll sentence you to 4 years, however, if you lie then I'll sentence you to 6 years.

After the man's statement the judge decides to let him go. What did the man say?



Good Luck ! ............

He said, "You'll sentence me to six years in prison." If it was true, then the judge would have to make it false by sentencing him to four years. If it was false, then he would have to give him six years, which would make it true. Rather than contradict his own word, the judge set the man free.

Correct?
