QUOTE(raum)"I deserve to be shot."
If the statement is false, he doesn't deserve to be shot. This is the penalty for a false statement, and he just made a true one. If his statement is true, he deserves to be hung, but if his statement is true, hanging is not the punishment for his crime, gunfire is,.. but by telling the truth, he can not be punished according to the weight of his statement.
They have to let him go, for the paradox is, the punishment would not fit the crime.
your right.
General Gasslefield said: "I will be shot." If this statement was true, he would have been
hung and thus not be shot. But then his statement would be false, which implies that he
should be shot, making the statement true again, etc... In other words: the verdict of the
court-martial could not be executed and the general was released.

The answer to riddle 8 is...
the ball will hit bottom in the bucket at 20 C because the bucket at 20 F is frozen.
