I remember - but can't for the life of me find again - a fairly simple looking function (a sum or product series involving cosine I believe) that was used to troll a numerical algorithm developer.
The function would seem to converge to a nice round number up to some number of decimals, then abruptly dive toward negative infinity. It was the correct behaviour - but if you'd been led to believe it was supposed to converge you'd think your numerical code was subtly wrong.
