What did the man say?
A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?

"I am now in MIeC forum" - true statement.
"I cant write a single word in English" is a false statement.
I hope the example above helps. A statement is true if it conforms to a logical truth. Is false if it doesnt.

yes thats a true statement. But note that for stating a true statement he gets 4 years sentence, for a false statement he gets 6 years. But WHAT could he have said to the judge that made him set free?
Think mirg think.... if true 4 years, if false 6 years.

the logic for this answer's not based on calculation.
just a hit trying out his luck to see if he can catch the judge 
contohnya adalah seperti berikut:
itu judge tak tau semua peristiwa lelaki itu buat masa kecil.
jadi, jika lelaki itu cakap, saya mula berjalan bila saya berumur 6bulan,
macam mana judge tau itu betul ka salah..
ehemm...... 
jangan marah ya J.. |

maybe something along the line of.........
1) God exists
2) I have seen the God
so the judge cannot determine it's true or false |
