A prisoner is told, “If you tell a lie we will hang you; if you tell the truth we will shoot you.”

If they shoot him, then it makes the statement a lie and they were only to shoot him for telling the truth. An alternate solution is to say, “You will not shoot me,” leading to the same quandary for the killers.
