Riddles/Brainteasers

[Terrabon98]

I dunno if this even belongs in the POG forum, so mods can move it if they want.

I just wanted to hear some cool riddles from people. Feel free to let others guess, or just write results in white at the bottom of your post.

1) A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?

2) What English word retains the same pronunciation, even after you take away four of its five letters?

3) What work can a painter never quite finish?

4) Which of the following statements are true?

1. At least one of these ten statements is false.
2. At least two of these ten statements are false.
3. At least three of these ten statements are false.
4. At least four of these ten statements are false.
5. At least five of these ten statements are false.
6. At least six of these ten statements are false.
7. At least seven of these ten statements are false.
8. At least eight of these ten statements are false.
9. At least nine of these ten statements are false.
10. At least ten of these ten statements are false.

Einsteins riddle

"ALBERT EINSTEIN WROTE THIS RIDDLE EARLY DURING THE 19th CENTURY. HE SAID THAT 98% OF THE WORLD POPULATION WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SOLVE IT." Sorry about the caps, I quoted it from the page.

I've solved it, but I find it unlikely that only 2 % of the population is able to solve it.
