Seems it is a story time thread. Here goes my strangest one.

Back in 2005, when I had only paid-by-cash internet cafe access to computer, one of the shopkeeper offered me free time on computer IF I typed and ran a 15 page of class 12 computer project printed on A4 sheets, onto the compiler. TurboC++. I gladly accepted the offer and typed things.

When I finished typing, taking out all the compile error, the program didn't work as expected. Few hours latter, I find out that 1 or 2 pages of printed source codes were not in original order. :-O . So had to swap code from one function to another to finally get it working. That was one hell of a lesson!

Shopkeeper must have sold that project to many students, and I got some Free internet access.
