{My technique is to mark one and then divide by the number of copies
{and assign that to each perpitrator. As someone else pointed out,
{isn't odd how people always copy a program with a weird bug/feature in

When I was a student and someone was taking cards from the hopper
to copy them. This got annoying enough that I would get the program
working quickly (maybe two whole days before it was due :-) ), then
leave a "doctored" version around to be copied. Naturally the doctored
version had all kinds of interesting bugs.
After they found out what I did the TAs thought it was hilarious!
