- Title
A SOLUTION TO THE SURPRISE EXAM PARADOX.
- Authors
EDWARD, TERENCE RAJIVAN
- Abstract
The students' argument against the possibility of a surprise exam assumes that the following combination would not occur: the teacher decides to give the exam on a certain day; the teacher believes that the exam would be a surprise on that day; but, actually, the exam would not be a surprise on that day. I give a reason to reject this assumption, and I point out that an attempt to reformulate the surprise exam paradox in order to allow for the assumption does not result in an acceptable argument.
