It's a paradox related to "meta-logic", but it's different. Surprise exam is about temporal reasoning -- It's only impossible to be surprised on the last day (or else the premise of having an exam is invalidsted), and reasoning backwards in time from a contradiction is not valid.

Uninteresting number is a simpler contradiction in definitions.
