If the professor says she will give a quiz and it definitely will not
occur on the last day that it can possibly occur, and she gives it mid-term,
so what?  That obviously wasn't the last day it could possibly occur.
You have yet to show a valid induction indicating any real paradox.

Re the pseudo-quiz "resolution": you may have a problem, but the professor
does not, so there is no need for such resolutions.  Besides, is a
pseudo-quiz really a quiz for some propositions but not one for others?
I think Quine has got you (and no doubt most of the rest of us) beat.
