The Ultimate Question

There is a story about a philosophy class at a college, I'm not sure if its true or not, but it's interesting. The professor gave a one question final exam. Students studied and studied yet when they showed up for the exam the professor gave them the time limit and the one question "Why?" Only one student got an A, what was his answer? Even if you don't know the answer, what would you have written?

If you wonder about the "answerability" of questions in philosophy, you're a true philosopher! To ask whether a question is answerable is to take a step up from the ordinary in thinking.
