Reminds me of an experience I had in a college C++ course.

The professor was notorious for being a real tough grader. For my final project, I wrote a command line file encryption/decryption program. But, it encrypted and decrypted practically instantaneously. Since we had to demonstrate the program real-time in the computer lab to him, I was worried he wouldn't believe it actually did anything. So I added a delay and a progress bar for effect.

When I demonstrated the program, as the progress bar was going, the professor audibly said "oh good!" I was thinking in my head "oh yeah!" So I guess the effect worked.

He still docked me 5% points because the final decrypted file had an extra newline at the end. LOL
