A recent reference to an old TV show called the "A-Team" reminded me of a story I had once heard about Mr. T. I found the details of it on-line in Wikipedia still.
It's a great example of needing to be specific in what we ask for as well as to not underestimate people.
In November 1975, Tureaud was awarded a letter of recommendation by his drill sergeant, and in a cycle of six thousand troops Tureaud was elected "Top Trainee of the Cycle" and was also promoted to squad leader.[8] In July 1976, Tureaud's platoon sergeant punished him by giving him the detail of chopping down trees during training camp at Fort McCoy in Wisconsin, but did not tell him how many trees, so Tureaud single-handedly chopped down over seventy trees from 6:30 am to 10:00 am, until a shocked major superseded the sergeant's orders.[9

I was also asked once to take a quick look whether there were any serious bugs in the code. It also ended at about 10:00 but I only had to start at about 9:00... 😉
But you cannot combat all silly things with brute force and systematic scans if the system is not supporting it. That is what I have come to conclude about SCN.
A new tactic would be refreshing. Or we move on to HANA (BTW: Hasso has his own HANA community site without missions and points nonsense and he blogs there personally!)
