When a friend of mine was in law school, she told us about an assignment they had early on in a civil litigation class. They were presented with a scenario basically similar to the one in Bruce's link: not terribly complicated; there was a car wreck in a certain location, someone died, and various parties were on the clock with their employers at the time of the accident. The assignment was to name every permutation of who-could-sue-whom-for-what given the scenario, and they worked in groups so they could combine their ideas.

The winning group came up with 27 possible litigations. The complete answer given by the professor listed 36.
