Abstract
The behavior of quenched QCD at nonzero chemical potential has been a long-standing puzzle. An explicit solution is found using the random matrix approach to chiral symmetry breaking. At nonzero the quenched QCD is not a simple limit of a theory with quarks: a naive `replica trick' fails. A limit that leads to the quenched QCD is that of a theory with quarks: quarks with original action and quarks with conjugate action.
