The most difficult graduate examination you'll ever see

All Soul's College in Oxford is a bit odd.  L144M in endowment, no undergraduate students, and only 76 graduate fellows.  While most fellows who join the college are postdocs and are elected by its current members, every year two graduate students - who might be as young as 21 - are admitted as Prize Fellows chosen through a famous exam.
