But I made that bug happen a bunch of times in Lotus 123 (I don't think I had Excel at the time) when I was a kid.

So pretty often if you tried! And I remember getting a clockspeed upgrade (60 -> 90 MHz iirc) when Intel sent us a new CPU.

@ElsaPreme The Pentium division bug is deterministic, so you can make it happen all day long if you do a particular division. The lesser-known 386 multiplication bug, on the other hand, was a circuitry issue that depended on the voltage, frequency, and temperature, so it was unpredictable.
