An enemy king condemned to death was given an option to choose his death - if he tells the truth then his head shall be cut off and if he lies he shall be hanged till death. How can he escape death?

He doesn't tell them anything, as long as he doesn't speak he doesn't lie and he doesn't tell the trueth either. right?

If he isn't required to answer, I think your answer will be the best! Great thinking!

Thank you so much. I think Kamran12 has a pretty logical and well thought answer just below mine. If he's required to answer I guess that would be the way to go.

Wild guess here...If he tells his accusers the following, I think it might work. Maybe. "I'm a liar. And that's the truth."

That sounds so odd that it might work :) I wouldn't have come up with that myself, nice thinking!
