There is an ancient tale about a king who wanted to pick the wisest man among his subjects to be his prime minister.

The candidates were informed that whoever was able to open the door first would be appointed to the post of honor. Setting themselves to the task, two of the men began to work out complicated mathematical formulas to discover the lock combination.

It had been unlocked all the time.
