ok the pizza one i dunno gotta think, but heres another one, similar to the first one posted:
You're in ithe amazon and suddenly a tribe captures and decides out of the goodness of their heart that they are going to kill you. Since their oracle is all knowing, they ask you to tell them something, if you tell the truth, they will boil u in a cauldron, but if u lie, they will feed you to their alligators.
How do you get yourself out of this dilemma? |
what if you were to ask a question? thats not telling the truth or a lie. |

You say "You are going to feed me to the alligators."
Because if the try to it becomes truth so they cannot. Conversly they cannot boil you because it would make the statement false. |
