“You will hang me.”
[quote]If they hang him, then the statement was true and they could only hang him for telling a lie. 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.[/quote]

@SW-User Unless....the prison plans to hang him AND shoot him regardless of what he says! It will still be the truth (but not the whole truth) that, "If you tell a lie will we will hang you and if you tell the truth we will shoot you," regardless of whether he tells a lie or the truth.
The statements say "if." They do not say "if and only if."
