The fear of losing points for answering wrong was less than the fear of losing points for walking out, so he decided to stay and give it a try. He knew he must be missing something.

"All I know about beards, since I don't have the luxury of having one yet, is that they are...well...random. Just like the numbers we shouted out. Each beard is unique.
