Surprise Quiz

RE: Surprise Quiz
This is some kind of paradox Adrian. Logically it's deducable, but not proven that it can't be Friday, because they would know by Thursday. If we go with this assumption we end up with numerically it can't be any day next week, as you see above. That mean logically either the premise is false or the teacher is lying. He didn't say you couldn't give more than one answer. It's reasonable to assume that there is in fact a quiz next week and that it won't be on Friday, based on that trust. I'd tell the teacher it is on Monday, then on Monday I'd say it was on Tuesday, etc. and on Friday I's say you can't have it today,because we expect it, therefore you were lying and there is no quiz this week. Other than that a surprise quiz could be any day, because he's not following the premise it's a surprise pop quiz or following standard logic. He could theoretically come in and surprise them on any day unless they made a prediction every day.

Also the premise It can't be Friday is only good ON Thursday, so up until Thursday that could be the logical plan. There's some kind of paradox or time thing I'm still not getting exactly
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
