There is no answer to my riddle btw

Got a riddle for you:

A man is in court about to go to jail and the Judge tells the man that if he tells one truth he will not go to jail and get set free. The man says "I'm going to jail".

Does the man go to jail or is he set free?

If he's about to go to jail and says "I'm going to jail" then he is telling a truth and so he gets set free.

I don't see how either is possible. If he is telling the truth about going to jail, then he's met the condition and would be set free. But then if he's set free, it's made his statement a lie, so he would be sent to jail. But that would then make his statement true, setting him free. Insert infinity symbol here.

If there is no answer to the riddle then I can see the judge getting pissed off at the guy and throwing his ass in jail for being a smartass.

If he's about to go to jail and says "I'm going to jail" then he is telling a truth and so he gets set free.

But then he'd be lying because he wouldn't be going to jail, so then he'd go to jail and he'd be telling the truth. but then he'd be lying because he wouldn't be going to jail because he told the truth, ect. ect. ec.t

Yes!! I got it right!! I usually suck at riddles.

You are in the woods and you stumble upon a cabin with dead bodies in it. How did everyone die?



Joey has to use the bathroom everynight but he suffers and waits until morning to go. Why is this?

He doesn't want to step over all the dead bodies in the dark?

I thought a paradox were two doctors?

 

[flyersfan4706]

Those are two seperate riddles...

 

[ritari330]

A pair of Doxes.
