Alright lets crack up the bridge riddle!!!!!

The Bridge Riddle-

The Bridge Riddle:

You are trapped in a strange land and must cross a bridge to escape.

  • There is a guard at the bridge.
  • The guard follows a strict rule:
    • If you make a statement that is true, he lets you cross.
    • If you make a statement that is false, he throws you into the river.

You must cross the bridge, and you get only one sentence to say.

What do you say to safely cross the bridge? 😈

Hint :

Here’s a hint:

The guard’s rule is based on true or false statements—but what if your sentence creates a paradox? 🤔

Try to come up with a statement that cannot be classified as either true or false. That will trap the guard in a logic loop and force him to let you cross. 😈

Answer:

The Trick: Use a Paradox

To break the guard’s rule, you must say a sentence that is neither true nor false, creating a logical paradox.

The best statement to say is:

“You will throw me into the river.”

Why This Works:

  • If the statement is true, then the guard must throw you into the river.
    • But if he does, then your statement was correct, meaning he should have let you cross instead!
  • If the statement is false, then he must not throw you into the river.
    • But if he doesn’t throw you in, then your statement would have been true, meaning he should have thrown you in!

Since the guard cannot determine whether your sentence is true or false, his rule breaks down, and he is forced to let you cross the bridge. 😏

Final Answer:

✔ Say “You will throw me into the river.”
✔ The guard gets stuck in a paradox.
✔ You walk away free! 🚶‍♂️🌉
