Once there was a young boy who did not knew much of the world outside.Being pretty naive and reluctant to ask, he was a loner and living in a countryside mansion, it didn't hurt much.
His rich Victorian parents worried about him suggested to get him a teacher who would interact and also developed his mental faculties.Being people of means,they wanted to choose a teacher once and for all so that he could be useful to the lad "forever",whatever that means. 'He' because of avoiding the son to even think of women cause he had never seen them except his mother and maids who were chosen deliberately to be plump and haunting.
From long searches over different continents,they came across one who had recently graduated student from India. They knew indians were good intellecutals but that didn't mean every indian was an intellect. Their statement was based on the fact that they had seen many intellectual indians but not seeing one does not mean that it did not exist. Pretty much like flowering of bananas,which happens only once in their lifetime and nobody is around when its happening ,just before and after it.
Hence, they had to put him to a test. Not like the Tripos or Putnam fellow kind of test which one had to clear only if he thought he was one amongst the few gods living on earth.  'He' because not many females did succumb to these norms of testing.Questions would be based on all subjects and answers to be decided by a jury including the mother and father and some academicians form the local university from different subjects. Texts ranging from Evolutionary psychology to Astrophysics, guitar playing to drum beating, story telling to novel writing, C to Mathematica, prime numbers to RSA algorithm,Chemical thermodynamics to Engineering Design, Khomeini to Einstein, everything was to be covered,tried and secured.They deliberartely left out a few subject in acknowledging the fact that everything could not be known and if everything was to be known by someone, he would be named 'Encyclopedia Brittanica' or perhaps ' God'.
To set the rules of the questionairre and since so much was being asked(this fact was acknowledged by the academician not the parents) they decide to allow the fellow 1 pound of material for the purpose of his browsing through,in case he got stuck.
A curious incident happened just before the day of arrival of young dark indian gentleman. The incident is not of much importance,rather its sensitivity to the story's turning points. The small boy was studying mathematics as a hobby since a long time ,of which Euclid's 'Elements' was his favourite.Incidentally,the academician who was having supper walked into the little boy's study(if a small table with few book be served the honour) and asked him if hew knew of something called 'Fermat's last theorem'. To everyone amazement the boy politely refused(if you get the irony).
