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.
