This weeks winner is PGLGreg. CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RIDDLE: 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?

ANSWER: He said, "You'll sentence me to six years in prison." If it was true, then the judge would have to make it false by sentencing him to four years. If it was false, then he would have to give him six years which would make it true. Rather than contradict his own word, the judge set the man free.

    Hmmm
    I thought Pretty please would have done it for sure! Maybe because I left the sugar on top part off he slapped me with contempt of court and another 4 years, or was it 6?

    Water lentils
    I really thought someone would try the lentils riddle I added last week. Was it too obvious?
