It is very easy to pose as a zen master. There was another monk who always raised one finger as the answer (one finger zen, but not that practiced by shaolin monks). Three candidates for a public examination went together and asked the master to predict how many of then will get a pass. The master just raised one finger as usual. And he did actually foretell the result. The reason will be leaved as an exercise to readers. -- regards, ==================================================== GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
