For example, at the first ring of the Gong of Time, the monk might replace every bead with one of the opposite color, giving him 12 red and 15 green. Then, at the second ring, he might remove 3 red and add 2 green, leaving 9 red and 17 green. A monk may leave the Temple of Forever only when he has exactly 5 red beads and 5 green beads in his bowl. Can you find a way to escape?
