Problem:
You are captured by some really mean cannibals. They tell you to make one statement. If it is true they will be merciful and kill you by poison darts, but if it is a lie they will force you to endure the painful torture of being burned to death. What statement can you make to confound the cannibals and possibly effect your release?
Say something about your death.
Solution:
Say something to the effect of, "I will be burned to death."
If they burn you, your statement was true and they should have poisoned you.
If they poison you, your statement was false and they should have burned you.
(Let's just hope they don't decide to poison you AND then burn you.)
