Brothers Alfred, Benedict and Cyril are asleep in their cell, when the novice Legpulla sneaks in and paints a blue bob on the top of each of their shaven heads. When they awake, each notices the blob on the other's head. Now, the monastery rules are clear: it is impolite to say anything that will cause direct embarrassment to another member of the order, but it is also impolite to conceal anything embarrassing about yourself. And impoliteness is not permitted under any circumstances. So the monks say nothing, and their demeanour gives no hint of what they have seen.
Each vaguely wonders wether he, too, has a blob, but dare not ask, and there are no mirrors in their cell, nothing reflective at all. And so things remain until the Abbot enters, frowns, and informs them that 'At least one of you has a blue bob on his head.'
Of course, all three monks know that. So does the information make any difference to them?
