One day the coach brought an excellent young player to the dean of the college and asked that the student be allowed to enter without an examination. "Well," the dean said after some persuasion, "Id better ask him a few questions first."
有一天，教练带着一位优秀的年轻球员去见院长，希望院方同意他免试入学。经过一番劝说后院长说："那我最好先问问他几个问题。"

最后院长说："那么，五乘七得多少?"
The student thought for a long time and then answered, "Thirty-six."
学生想了很久，然后回答说："三十六。"
The dean threw up his hands and looked at the coach in despair, but the coach said earnestly, "Oh, please let him in, sir! He was only wrong by two."
院长摊开双手失望地看教练。可是教练认真地说，"噢，录取他吧，先生。他的答案只比正确答案多二。"
