One of the funniest stories I've ever heard was about how a junior developer asked a more senior developer a creatively terrifying question:

How do I install half of an RPM?

Maybe trying to workaround a dependency issue. Not sure what's in rpms, but in deb the manifest may require libsomething version exactly 1.1, will fail if something else requires libsomething >= 1.2.

1 revolution per 30 seconds maybe?

That would be 2 RPMs. Still easy to install!
