From: Mike Brzustowicz <mab@aids-unix> A non-network friend of mine needs to demonstrate to a class the importance of detailed specifications. He has been trying to find a task which is easy to do but hard to describe, so that half of the class can write descriptions which the other half will follow literally and thereby fail to accomplish the described task. Anyone have any ideas other than tying shoelaces or cooking beef wellington? (Many people don't wear laced shoes and the facilities available aren't up to cooking :-)). Thanks! -Mike <mab@aids-unix>
