While exploring the wild highlands of Scotland, Crazy Rob was captured by hostile wood fairies.
Smazze, the powerful chief of the fairies told him he could make one final statement which would determine how he would die.
If the statement he made was false, he would be boiled in water.
If the statement were true, he would be fried in oil.
Crazy Rob 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 make to save himself?

"You're going to boil me in water":
This leaves the fairies puzzled, and they must let him go. This is because if they do boil him in water, this would have made his statement true, and they should boil him in oil. But if they made the statement true and boiled him in oil, then this would make his statement false, and they should boil him in water.

"I don't believe in fairies". With that statement I think he could escape because the wood fairies would really not know if he was telling the truth or not.
