An eccentric philosophy professor decided to give a one-question final year examination to his students after a semester dealing with a vast array of topics.
The class was already seated when the professor picked up his chair, plopped it on his desk and wrote on the board:
“Using everything you have learned this semester, prove that this chair does not exist.”
Fingers set to work, examination booklets were filled up in a furious fashion as students poured down ideas.
Some students wrote 40 pages in two and half hours with philosophical theories, postulates and authorities cited.
A member of the class, however, finished his paper in less than a minute and submitted to everybody’s astonishment.
Weeks later when the results were released, the rest of the class wondered how the boy could make the only “A” in the class of 180 when he had barely written anything at all.
His answer consisted of two words:

“What chair?”
