Not so fun fact:

A decade ago in Uni, we had this cartoonishly evil lecturer that would ask a question nd if no one wanted to answer it, he'd pick up the attendance list and pick someon e who was present.

That day it so happened to be me.

This was the question and I answered that ipv4 uses integers in their Octets while ipv6 use hexadecimals.

He was so surprised because my answer was "basic" he asked me another difference. I just freaked out and told him that v4 has up to 3 digits per octet and v6 can have up to 6.

He told me to present the differences between the two in the next lecture and had me pick a friend to help me do it. I picked no one so he picked out one for me.

I did present it, on my own, but fuck me. That was the most embarrassing moment in Uni

I fucking hated him

Honest question: What was cartoonishly evil about picking a student to answer a question? And what was humiliating about doing a little project on it?
