There was once a college that offered a class on probability applied to the real world. The class was relatively easy, but there was a catch. There were no homework assignments or tests, but there was a final exam that would have only one question on it. When everyone received the test paper it was a blank sheet of paper with a solitary question on it: 'What is the risk?'.Most students were able to pass, but only one student received 100% for the class! Even stranger was that he only wrote down one word!
What did he write?

I’m tall when I’m young, and I’m short when I’m old. What am I?

A: B is a lying monkey. I am human.
B: A is telling the truth.

Who am I ?

Who am I?
