One of THE hardest questions on my final exam for Social Research went like this (obviously, I changed the answers as I don't remember what the ones on the exams were, but they do reflect the format of the actual exam):
Which of the following statements is FALSE?
A) 2 + 2 = 4
B) 1 + 1 = 2
C) 3 + 2 = 5
D) All of the above statements are true.
There were some other questions similar to this, the exam was like something out of an escher drawing.

Coding always has its own neat little puzzles, and they often differ a lot. For example one puzzle I enjoy doing is converting a page formatted in tables to
tags. Which is a different puzzle than say, consolidating style sheets to a minimum amount of text while retaining the same look. Some puzzles on the other hand are much more frustrating than others, these are often the result of syntax errors..
