Back in 2000 I was being interviewed for my first internship, to join a team of C programmers. They showed me one of the winner entries of the prior years, asked me to review the code and left the room. About 5 minutes later they came back:

– And?

– I'm sorry I wasted your time. I just can't understand it.

They burst into laughs and asked me to start the joining process.

I wonder if people still make fun of interns. I still have a good laugh when I remember myself freaking out.
