When I was in college a couple Intel engineers came as part of a recruiting event and taught my digital design class for a day. They told us about this bug and it blew our minds that they were using a simple (but super fast) lookup table to do math (a big part of the class was all about how to reduce logic). They had a few more gates to play with than the typical chip designs that had influenced this course's curriculum. It was also a little mind blowing that they were talking about this horrible embarrassing bug with such candor with us.
I think we all applied for the jobs they were there pitching us after that :-)
