Riddle 3: The Explorer and the Cannibals

The Explorer and the Cannibals 




"A reckless explorer was captured by cannibals who wanted to eat him, and said, "If you say a lie we kill slowly , and if you tell a truth we will kill you quickly". The explorer told them something and cannibals chose not to kill him. What could have told them not to kill him for? ".  


SOLUTION:

He could have said:   "I am going to kill you slowly."  That way, if they consider truth, in his words should kill quickly, which would make the browser statement was a lie. Should they lie they should kill him slowly, which would make the statement browser was true.
