Unexpected
Swedish civil defense authorities announced that a civil defense drill would
be held one day the following week, but the actual day would be a surprise.
However, we can prove by induction that the drill cannot be held. Clearly,
they cannot wait until Friday, since everyone will know it will be held that
day. But if it cannot be held on Friday, then by induction it cannot be held
on Thursday, Wednesday, or indeed on any day.
What is wrong with this proof?
