Client says "This is specification, it explains everything" and then hands you what appears to be a contestant on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" looking absolutely bewildered at the question "Two Zero Two Four" with four different numerical answers (2024, 0044, 0024, 2044).

It's the software development equivalent of being handed a fortune cookie and told it contains the complete architectural diagram. Sure, technically those are numbers on the screen, but good luck figuring out which one matches whatever cryptic requirement is floating around in the client's head.
