There was an outlaw in a small town in the old west that was sentenced to death for a series of crimes. The sheriff of the old town offered the outlaw a choice of method of execution based on the outlaw's last words.
"If you tell a truthful statement, you will be electrocuted. Otherwise, you will be hanged," said the sheriff.
A few days passed, and it was the day of the scheduled execution. The townspeople gathered around the square, waiting to hear the outlaw's last words, as they would decide his method of execution.
After he said his last words, he was not given death sentence. What did he said?
Ans:
The outlaw said "I will be hanged".
