When your code works, but you don’t know how
@programmerhumor

I solved one of these once upon a time.

There was a function that wasn’t called from anywhere in the project which if deleted caused the whole system to fail in test and (presumably) production at runtime. It turned out to be scripts for a cron job that were only on the servers. I moved them in to the project and thus version control. Mystery solved.
