Walking the halls of his abbey late at night, master Bawan came upon a monk in distress. A morning deadline was fast approaching, and after three all-nighters the exhausted monk had dropped his only remaining coins into the soda machine without first noticing the paper sign taped to it. The sign read OUT OF ORDER in large red capitals.
“Can you fix it?” asked the monk, who knew of Bawan’s skill with primitive machines.
Bawan studied the machine for a moment, then crossed out the letters of the sign and under them wrote DEFOOORRTU. Immediately a soda can dropped into the chute.
Satisfied, Bawan continued on his way.
