Same exact thing, about 16 years ago for me. He presented it (I think) to see who procrastinated on the project, knowing it'd take way longer than it sounded.

Same as me, 16 years as well. Was this kind of assignment in vogue at the time, discussed between professors / grad students at academic conferences?
My assignment involved writing assembly on some virtual machine with a weird byte/word size and dozens of addressing modes, as well as a (virtual) tape device. I think it was called CUSP but I can't find any references for it now.
