An eccentric philosophy professor gave a one question
final exam after a semester dealing with a broad array
of topics.
.
The class was already seated and ready to go when
the professor picked up his chair, plopped it on his
desk and wrote on the board: “Using everything we
have learned this semester, prove that this chair does
not exist.”

Fingers flew, erasers erased, notebooks were filled
in furious fashion. Some students wrote over 30
pages in one hour attempting to refute the existence
of the chair. One member of the class however,
was up and finished in less than a minute.
.
Weeks later when the grades were posted, the rest
of the group wondered how he could have gotten
an “A” when he had barely written anything at all.
His answer consisted of two words: “What chair?”
