LaurieAG Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I saw this one in an anime. The enigmatic giant blocked the bridge and said:- To cross this bridge you must make a statement, if what you say is a lie I will strangle you with my bare hands, if what you say is the truth I will stab you with my sword. What do you have to say to cross this bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endy0816 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I say nothing. Instead I attack the giant and take his eye. Without his eye the giant is now a gant. I place the enigmatic glove on my hand and proceed across the bridge. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrainTrainer Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I will say you will strangle me with your bare hands. This way the It would create a paradox: He strangles me if I lie, but if he will strangle me than what I am saying is not a lie. He will kill me with sword if I am telling the truth, but since I said he will strangle me, that cannot be the truth either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
