Hi Suresh,

I think there are lot of answers for this question... For example : His last word is "I'm Male" or "I'm breathing"... I dont know my understanding of this question is true or not... If not can u explain the question more... Or if there is any criteria explain that too suresh...

Thanks
Manoj:)

Hi manoj,

if you told "I'm Male" or "I am breathing" then there is a chance they are not accept it. Because they decide the final one.

See the sentence "Perplexed the clever thiefs realized they could do nothing and let him to go". so what he told ?

Read carefully the paragraph..there is a clue.

Hi Suresh,

I know the answer but i know the word in tamil... dont know the exact word in english.... The word is "MALADI" (women who cant give birth)... The answer the man says to theif is "Your mother is not a MALADI(In Tamil)"... I think u know Tamil.... otherwise i will ask my friend and tell u the answer...

Thanks
Manoj:)

hi manoj,

i know tamil. I think your answer also working. But i am expecting some other good answer. If you told that statement they can't do anything. i need that type of answer. Also i mentioned there is not a single theif. There are many theifs.

Here is the answer for this question...It is difficult to get exactly what you want in such kind of puzzles.

Answer is "After i told this you are shooting me in my head". If you told like this type of statement, he is not able to do anything. Because if they shoot him then what he told is correct or if they release him then what they told is wrong?

I need these type of statement. Anyway good work manoj.

I think, the man has said the below statement:
"You are all 3 people"
or "You are 3 thiefs"

But Suresh I think your answer is some where in the middle between True and False...
Because if the theifs shoot him then it become true and if the theifs wont shoot him then it become False otherwise he should be killed...
Little confusing

Thanks
Manoj:)

yes manoj,

Theifs getting that type of confusing, that's why they can't do anything.

I agree with Manoj. Why should the man bother confusing the thieves when he can easily escape by telling the truth?

I personally feel that [QUOTE]Theifs getting that type of confusing, that's why they can't do anything[/QUOTE] is rather dumb. If I was the thief definitely and most certainly I would have shot the man. The reasoning is simple, if I let him go, I break my words, if I shoot him agin I break the words.

The moral? When I'm breaking the promise either ways, why bother letting the man go? Just shoot him...:p

Suresh,

I think my Answer #4 is more accurate and straight... No one in the world will say false for that...

Thanks
Manoj:)

Yes friends....i agree with your statements.....
