two heads are better than one

My brother was telling me this amazing story when he was participating in his camp's parade to welcome a particular high-ranking officer from somewhere else.

(The Brigadier General is standing on the podium and addressing a speech to the parade.)

Brigadier General: As the Chinese saying goes, 三个臭皮匠顶个诸葛亮.

BG: In English it means that three average Joes is equivalent to...

BG: One Zhuge Liang.

Desmond: ...

Desmond, whispering to a Malay mate: You have any idea who's Zhuge Liang?

Malay mate: Who the hell is he?

BG: Or put it in another way...

BG: Three Changkat Changi equals to one Raffles Institution.

Desmond: What. The. Fuck.
