That post reminds me of an cycling related Alan Turing story.
Apparently when he worked at Bletchely Park he rode a bike that was a bit broken. The chain kept falling off. Now as Alan Turing was a little strange, he didn't get the bike fixed, he just learnt exactly when the chain would fall off. He managed to work out the exact number of pedals, or clicks, or wheel revolutions it took for the chain to fall off. Then stop to put it back on just before it fell off and he crashed.
Fixing it would have probably been easier.
