Being able to read code with a critical eye and describe exactly "what's wrong with this picture" is an important skill. To me a good answer for this topic is something that appears to work, but contains a bug which might be the kind that could appear in a hack. Sneaking something in that informed auditors (in this case, CS profs) should catch. It's a puzzle-writing contest vs a puzzle-solving contest; but yes, it shouldn't devolve into just being joke writing. | |

I enjoyed writing this answer and I think dissecting the pathology of it provides more educational value than a lot of "sincere" answers. It's just a matter of doing it right. But don't kill new art forms when they're just emerging. | |
