The story of three scholars who came to Beijing to take the exam.

Three scholars went to Beijing to catch the exam. When I met a monk, I asked him if he could be admitted. The monk held out a finger, and everyone was puzzled. The monk said that secrets should not be revealed. After the scholar left, the young monk asked what it meant. The monk said: (1) failed in the exam together (2) no (3) only one (4) only one. In other words, regardless of the outcome, the monks are right.
