The answer was almost obvious from the "do not run it on production server" recommendation.But, a good question for highlighting the pitfalls of "float".
That is what led me to guess correctly on this one, especially since that recommendation is literally one that goes without saying on SSC (no one should ever run QOTD code on production, even if they think that nothing can go wrong... Murphy's law and all that) - so I still need to read more about why this is. But I agree it is still a good question and leads to fruitful discussion about loops and floats.
Thanks,
