Reminds me of quantum physics. The two quantumly linked properties are the truthfulness of the professor’s statement and the time remaining until the last possible time for the test. When the professor makes the statement at least 5 days before the Friday, it’s true. By the Friday, the statement has become false. Around the Tuesday, the statement is half-true and half-false, an uncertain state.

I’d think far more than a hundred papers have been published on the paradoxes of quantum physics. Can I suggest the surprise test paradox and quantum physics have exactly the same underlying principles behind them.
