| Gift! Giftcard, giftbox, giftbag, giftcode (so you can redeem it), gifthaste!
...whadya mean "gifthaste isn't a word"?! --- By the way, can you put the old riddles up, too? It's kinda weird to see answers that don't belong to questions. (It would also be nice to have the answers attached to the questions in some secretive way...) | |

| again... Oh well,
He said, "You'll sentence me to six years in prison." cause if it was true, the judge would have to make it false by sentencing him to 4 years. if it was false, then he would have to give him 6 years, but then it would make it true. Rather than contradicting his own word, the judge set the man free. | |

| 10k credits for you. The 100k guess is incorrect.
Let me reiterate on the 100k credits. The actual pattern of decoding is well known, but it depends if you have actually seen it. You should also be glad that I didn't keep key nouns as is in the "language" (hint hint).
Dropping prize to 75k now because there is a minor hint. | |
