Can You Solve This Riddle to Save the Child from the Crocodile's Dilemma?

VR Kadam
Hi Friends,

Answer this.

A slim crocodile living in the Nile took a child. His mother begged to have him back. The crocodile could not only talk but was also a great sophist and stated, "If you guess what I will do with him, I will return him. However, if you don't guess his fate, I'll eat him." What statement should the mother make to save her child?

She will say "you will give back the baby to me" because I don't think talking crocodiles eat small babies. They talk like us, and we can offer them food instead of a child.

"You will eat him" will be the statement. Now, if she has guessed it right, the crocodile has to return the baby back. And there is no possibility she can be wrong because if she is wrong by saying this, the crocodile will eat the child, i.e., she has said. Now, that's the correct answer, I hope.

"You will eat Kadham instead of my child and will give back my child..."

Hi Kadam!

What's the answer? Is it one mentioned in any of the replies, or is it a different one? 10 days is enough time, I guess. I await a witty answer :)

Hi Kadam,

For speaking, the fellow crocodile should open its mouth. At that time, the mother can get back her child.
No need to guess anything other than this.
Is it right according to you?
Reply is a MUST...

Hi Dears,

The answer "You will Eat/Return Him" works. But think beyond this. Like Murali and Ravi.

Hi Vennila,

I know you have a Crocodile Park in Chennai. Please send some, not one, immediately. I need to put them in several tanks here to scare the people who are polluting.

Hi Kadham,

Mom is going to say, "I know you're a slim crocodile, but by merely consuming my baby, you're not going to put on any mass. So, I will join my baby."

She goes and saves the baby... lol :D My share of creativity :)

Cheers,

Hi Kadam,

Sure...

But to add, crocodiles are not enough for those who are polluting. We will send scuds to fire them dead. Nobody should save them in any case. Don't worry, polluting people will never succeed in life.

Cheers!!!!!!
