The instant you choose to add to the list the fact that you will give the list to the guy, the list instantly changes, and when the list instantly changes, it instantly changes again because the action of giving the paper has changes. Now this series of infinite changes, the way it "behaves", that can be predicted because actions are limited, and even if they were not, they are actions which are "closer", in that they are more similar, to other actions, therefore it would cause a similar change in the list. Eventually the series, or function as explained the other anon, would be possible to mathematically model and thus put the subject into a state of affairs where he can't escape, or more precisely would fall into another deterministic scenario when he'd try to escape one. Whet your thought experiment suggests is that there can be only one determenistic scenario for determinism to be possible, but as long as the subject's action are entirely contrained by rules which he did not choose, he is determined.
