I just gave out our comprehensive exams in Ancient and Early Modern Philosophy. I did this by first saying: "If you are getting the Ancient exam, please put up your hand", and giving the Ancient exam to those who did, and then saying: "If you are getting the Modern Exam, please up your hand", and giving the Modern exam to those who did.
So, if x got the Ancient exam:
- x put up her hand because x was getting the Ancient exam.
- x was getting the Ancient exam because x put up her hand.
Fortunately, this one is easy to resolve: x put up her hand because x was supposed to get the Ancient exam, or because x thought she was getting the Ancient exam.
