The unexpected hanging paradox is an alleged paradox about a prisoner's response to an unusual death sentence. It is alternatively known as the hangman paradox, the fire drill paradox, or the unexpected exam (or "pop quiz") paradox. Despite significant academic interest, no consensus on its correct resolution has yet been established. Even though it is apparently simple, the paradox's underlying complexities have even led to its being called a "significant problem" for philosophy.
