Hoping to slip the bug by the hospital, you declare KAREL is complete and release the package. Immediately, you set your team to work on KAREL II, the market version of KAREL the Nurse.

However, at the hospital, things are not happy. Your engineers apparently did not take into account the operating methods of the hospital, and their estimate for a bug once every twenty years is not even close to accurate. Instead, because of the way the hospital uses KAREL, the bug should appear once every six months.


After three months of operation in the hospital, KAREL crashes and brings the hospital to its knees. Needless to say, you and your company are ruined as well. One of your programmers is quoted on the evening news, reporting that your company did know about the bug, but did not think it was important enough to document or fix.

Guilty of extreme negligence and misrepresentation, your life is ruined. Your only consolation is that all of the networks are clamoring to buy the exclusive rights to your story.
