Cool that there was something to learn for some people.

The second part of the exercise is now of course (this goes to
everyone): how to "fix" the code so that what some people expected is
the end result?...:

 Write an expression that returns a list of 100 functions accepting zero
 arguments.  `funcall'ing the Nth function must return N.  Use a `while'
 loop or whatever you like but please not `dolist' or any tool that
 already handles this "problem" specifically.

I think this is the first instance of Russell's paradox I have ever met
in real life.
