Resolution of the Surprise Exam Paradox

History and Overview 2014-12-03 v1

We present a resolution of the celebrated "Surprise Exam Paradox". We argue that if the surprise exam story is analyzed using the exact same meaning of the notion of "surprise" as is dictated by the story itself, then no paradox arises.
