I already foresee the quibbling on the answer to all the print the nth line questions: do empty lines count? In *nix-land they certainly do, in player-land they might, then again they might not.

When little Johnny gives teacher his 2000 line essay consisting of 1998 empty lines flanked by My 2000 line essay and That's all Folks! teacher will give Johnny a 1 or an F (depending on locality, might even be E where silly rabbits banned 'F' scores). But teacher, I played this here game of cards where empty lines did count won't be accepted as valid reasoning.
