they were having a timing problem at the time and she saw that the wires were all different lengths so she ask one of the engineers what was the speed of light in miles per hour, then in feet then in seconds, then in nano-seconds and it turns out it's about 11" long.
she said cut ALL the wires at 11x" long and BINGO!!! timing issued GONE!
Wow! That is real brain-power at work. Great story!
