Longest I have spent is 3 days..

We were modernizing our reporting solution from Crystal Reports to SSRS and there was a formula written to calculate adjusted hours(CST / IST time difference, weekends, holidays etc..). This formula was written in COBOL with no documentation. I was trying to convert it in C#. Target was to get same values from both formula. Bug was in calculating weekend hours values and took me whole of 3 days to figure that out
