>man is told that he will be hanged on one afternoon from Monday to Friday
>the hanging will come as a surprise
>the hanging can't be on Friday, because that's the last day and then it wouldn't come as a surprise
>the hanging can't be on Thursday either, because if he wasn't hanged on Wednesday afternoon and the hanging can't be on the Friday then it would have to be Thursday and it wouldn't come as a surprise
>by continuing to use this logic, the hanging can't come as a surprise on any day between Mon-Fri
>the man gets hanged on Wednesday and is surprised
Alright /sci/, what the hell is going on here?
