If this sentence is false, then the following sentence is also false.
THIS SENTENCE IS FALSE, BECAUSE FOR IT TO BE TRUE, BOTH SENTENCES REFERRED TO BY IT MUST BE FALSE. THEREFORE, IF IT WERE TRUE, IT WOULD BE FALSE. SINCE THIS CAN NOT BE, THEN THIS SENTENCE MUST BE FALSE, MEANING THAT THE NEXT SENTENCE IS TRUE.
If the answer to this riddle is two, then the correct thing to write in the blank is "four".
THIS SENTENCE IS TRUE, PER THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE.
If more of these sentences are true than false, the answer to the riddle is three.
THIS SENTENCE IS FALSE, SINCE THERE ARE MORE TRUE SENTENCES THAN FALSE ONES, AND THE ANSWER IS NOT THREE.

If the second sentence is true, then the answer to the riddle is two.
THIS SENTENCE IS TRUE, BECAUSE THE TENTH SENTENCE STATES THAT THE ANSWER TO THE RIDDLE IS THE NUMBER OF TRUE SENTENCES CONTAINING THE WORD “FALSE”. SINCE THE SECOND SENTENCE IS TRUE AND THERE ARE TWO SENTENCES FULFILLING THE CONDITIONS IN THE TENTH SENTENCE, THIS SENTENCE IS TRUE.
More than half of the previous sentences are not true.
THIS SENTENCE IS FALSE, BECAUSE TWO OF THE PREVIOUS SENTENCES ARE TRUE AND TWO ARE FALSE, SO THE NOT TRUE SENTENCES DO NOT MAKE UP “MORE THAN HALF” OF THE PREVIOUS ONES.
More than half of the previous sentences are not true.
THIS SENTENCE IS TRUE, BECAUSE THERE ARE NOW THREE FALSE SENTENCES AND TWO TRUE SENTENCES MAKING UP THE PREVIOUS FIVE SENTENCES.
If the blank says "four", then four is the answer to the riddle.
THIS SENTENCE IS FALSE, PER THE TWELFTH SENTENCE (THE SECOND-TO-LAST ONE).

None of the sentences containing the word "false" are true.
THIS SENTENCE IS FALSE, BECAUSE THE TENTH SENTENCE AND THE LAST SENTENCE ARE BOTH TRUE AND CONTAIN THE WORD “FALSE”.
The next sentence is false.
THIS IS FALSE BECAUSE EITHER IT IS FALSE AND THE NEXT SENTENCE IS TRUE, OR IT IS TRUE AND THE NEXT SENTENCE IS FALSE. EITHER WAY, THE ANSWER TO THE RIDDLE (WHICH ACCORDING TO THE NEXT SENTENCE DEPENDS ON THE NUMBER OF TRUE SENTENCES CONTAINING THE WORD “FALSE”) STAYS THE SAME, BECAUSE ONLY ONE OF THESE SENTENCES IS TRUE, BUT BOTH CONTAIN THE WORD “FALSE”. IF THE NEXT SENTENCE WERE FALSE, THEN THE FOURTH SENTENCE WOULD ALSO BE FALSE, MAKING THE FIFTH SENTENCE ALSO FALSE, WHICH MAKES THE ELEVENTH SENTENCE TRUE, WHICH CREATES A CONTRADICTION WHEN THE THIRD SENTENCE IS CONSIDERED, GIVEN THAT THE THIRD SENTENCE WOULD BECOME TRUE. BUT SINCE IT CONTAINS THE WORD “FALSE”, THERE WOULD NOW BE FOUR TRUE SENTENCES CONTAINING THE WORD “FALSE”.

The answer to the riddle is the number of true sentences containing the word "false".
PER THE NINTH SENTENCE, THIS SENTENCE IS TRUE.
The fifth and sixth sentences are both false.
THIS SENTENCE IS FALSE PER THE FIFTH AND SIXTH SENTENCES.
The word "five" should be written in the blank if the answer is four.
THIS SENTENCE IS TRUE (THOUGH TOPICALLY IRRELEVANT) PER THE NEXT SENTENCE.
This sentence and the previous sentence are true if most of these sentences are false, and false if most of these sentences are true.
SINCE UP TO THIS POINT, SEVEN OF THE SENTENCES ARE FALSE, THIS AND THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE MUST BE TRUE. THIS BECOMES THE SECOND TRUE SENTENCE CONTAINING THE WORD “FALSE”. (ALSO, IF IT WERE FALSE, THEN BY ITS OWN LOGIC, IT WOULD BE TRUE, MEANING IT CAN NOT BE FALSE)

You didn't ask a question, so how would you find the answer to it, thus finding out what to write in the blank?
