      Don't fall to believe that this is a downside! If you wouldn't have been a programmer probably you would have not known how to watch that video... ;)

          Programmers wear ties? :omg: I have always had enough difficulty persuading them to wear shirts...

          Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Manfred R. Bihy: "Looks as if OP is learning resistant."

            Currently I wear a bolo tie a work (the official neckwear of Arizona) -- no tying required.

                That is one of the joys of being a programmer. :)

                  So maybe it's as simple as:

                  Tie t = new Tie(Color.Red);
                  t.TieKnot(Windsor);

                    But a good programmer knows how to find the answer he needs. So, not only can you now tie a tie, but you were demonstrating your excellent programming skills at the same time.

                      Ah... you must be really young... A tie is a war ship that is used by the imperial forces... there are some different kinds of them: tie-figther, tie-bomber, tie-interceptor... :rolleyes:

                        Programming is a race between programmers trying to build bigger and better idiot proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots, so far... the universe is winning.

                          I don't think you've deconstructed the problem fully as you've created the Knot enum with the member Windsor, however the Windsor knot can by tied as a FullWindsor or a HalfWindsor!

                            You are of course right. On of these days when I have nothing better to do, I'm going to sit down and write a complete and failsafe method for tie tying with all possible knots fully enumerated. I will of course share the code with all of you here at CP for a fraction of the cost of a professional third party tie tying code library... ;P
