Not really Linux related so I'm posting it here...

Say you get a request to print out the first 10 digits of Pi in the fewest possible
number of lines (source).  You turn in the following:

#!/bin/sh
echo "3.141592653"

The instructor marks it wrong, and argues that it's contrary to the spirit of the
assignment.  What do you folks think?
