I'm curious, how complex was the code. I would love to try this out at some point. Did it fit all in one page?

I think it was a class of 30-50 lines of Java code.

The problems were those you see daily in production code. Misleading names. Duplicated constants. Overly complex constructs. Off by one errors. Maybe a resource leak when exceptions are thrown. Etc.
