On a lighter note, I think someone I know might have resorted to this programming technique way back in my engineering college days...albeit without results (or shall I say "requirement marks for the exam question").

The program was to compute a factorial in C. It had to be written on the answer paper. The first few lines where the usual headers, then the main block. Inside the main block was a "novel" on how to accomplish the computation. (That was not even in comments).

Makes me smile thinking about this even today...
