Who deleted the entire post a few weeks ago? That was uncalled for! You can't do that unless you are 100% confident that the sound of one hand clapping is nothing at all. But you can't be certain of anything, since this is a Koan. There were some great answers in there, so please don't mess with the post guys.

This question is actually the way that a Buddhist master tells the monks to be quiet.

i thought that if you are only using one hand to clap then there wouldn't be any noise at all
