hangman's paradox

People that are to hang at noon one day of next week cannot predict the day {hangman's paradox}. If seventh day comes and no hanging has happened yet, prediction is possible, so it is clear that they cannot hang on seventh day. Then they cannot hang on sixth day either, and so on, until first day, so no hanging can happen.
