If the statement were true he would be fried in oil. Wild Man Dave found neither of this options too his liking so he made a statement that got him out of this seemingly impossible situation. What is the one statement he could have made?

a statement

A question is a statement. It is a questioning statement. Or he could use sign language. Or Braille. Or type it. Or sing in an operatic fashion

"You will boil me in water." The fairies were faced with a dilemma. If they boil him in water, that would make his statement true, which means he should have been fried in oil. They can only fry him in oil if he makes a true statement, but if they do, it would make his final statement false. The fairies had no way our of their situation so they were forced to set Wild Man Dave free.

First time I heard this riddle it was about a Judge and a Convict's prison sentence. The judge said that he would let the mad decide his prison sentence. If he told him a true statement he would get 5 years and if he told him a false statement he would give him 10 years. The man said you'll give me 10 years and the judge had to let him free.
