The backwards induction argument assumes the time of execution is a discrete variable.

However, at least as far as we know, time seems to be continuous.

What about a scenario that describes an event occurring during a discrete amount of time during a set length of time? For example: A teacher says that he will give the class a surprise pop quiz at the beginning of class some day next week. How does reverse induction fail here?
