A teacher says to students in class that
1.) They would have a examination one day next week, Monday through Friday.
2.) The examination will be a sudden test without me informing.
The students think on these statements, and then feel relived. "If the test were on Friday," they think, "then it wouldn't be a surprise; for they know before hand. since no test had been conducted yet and only one day was left. So the test can't be on Friday."
"So" they think, " only two days were left, one of which (Friday) we already know cannot be exam day .If it were, then it wouldn't be a surprise either.then the test can't be on Thursday either " With similar reasoning they think that the test cannot be on monday too. So they are all pretty confident that the test will not be conducted.
But the teacher's words came true. Which part of students thinking was wrong?
