Jatin and Gagan were close brothers until Jatin graduated from Yale and became a renowned scientist who made millions. Not wanting to be outdone, Gagan invited Jatin over to a mansion that he claimed was his. He showed Jatin many wonderful things inside the house one of which was a golden statue.

"This was a little gift from a friend of mine," Gagan said, rapping on it with his fist, "It's made out of pure gold. See? Even my powerful fist can't make a dent in it."

"I have to say, this is all impressive," Jatin admitted, "but I know this is all fake, Gagan."

Jatin and his friend Pawan had very famous challenge sessions at their school. One would suggest something they could do, and the other would prove it wrong somehow.

One day, Jatin surprised Pawan by stating: "I can answer any question in the world."

Sure that he would win the challenge, Pawan accepted the task of proving it wrong. He wrote up a test full of impossible questions. After a while, Jatin returned the test. Pawan unbelievably lost the challenge and told Jatin he could indeed answer any question.

How did Jatin win?
