Three students took a test. The professor comes and tells them that only one has passed the test.“Which is it?” they ask.“I can’t tell you that,” says the professor. “I can’t tell a student their own fate before the results are declared.”Student A takes the professor aside. “Look,” he says. “Of the three of us, only one has passed.
