    This is so cool! Not only is the design similar, but just like the real IKEA instructions, I can't understand them! This is as realistic as it gets.

      Missing the instruction panel where the customer is attempting to follow the baffling instructions and has to use a wired phone to call the store for help.

      Getting quicksort's boundary conditions right (avoiding off-by-one errors, infinite recursion, etc.) can be tricky.

      Another popular algorithm that can be hard to get right is binary search.
