There is an ancient tale of a king who wanted to pick the wisest man among his subjects to be his prime minister. When the search finally narrowed down to three men, he decided to put them to the supreme test.
Accordingly, he placed them together in a room in his palace. On the door he placed a lock that was the last work in mechanical ingenuity. The candidates were informed that who ever was able to open the door first would be appointed to the post of honor.
The men immediately set themselves to the task. Two of them began at once to work out complicated mathmatical formulas to discover the lock's combination. The third man, however, just sat down, completely lost in thought. Finally, without even putting pen to paper, he got up, walked to the door and simply turned the handle. The door opened to his touch. It had been unlocked the entire time!
