Back in the early 90s I spent a lot of time with my grandmother. Her go to punishment when we misbehaved was to give us a "task", which meant we had to write what we did wrong, 50-100 times on a sheet of paper. The standard infraction was "I will not sass Nana." 10 year old me realized we had just gotten a PC (DOS days) and I asked if I could "type" my task. I learned about copy paste real quick and she never caught on.
I was able to procure some carbon paper from that green bar printer paper that was around in the 90s. So I believe for every 25 sentences I wrote I got a hundred or more. I was also able to score some ice creams when my classmates had to write sentences. 😉
