    Imagine having that great idea and carefully crafting the edition of the book for that to happen. Or may be just unscrupulously fill up the book with white pages with the sentence “this page is intentionally left blank (see page 269)”

      What do you mean? I don’t think you have to pad the pages or anything like that to make this happen. You just go into the index and add a reference to the same page behind recursion.

    I remember this from “The C Programming Language // ANSI Edition” — a.k.a. K&R! A great guide to C btw; I still consider it the single most informative and useful thing that happened to me in the realm of computer science.
