Beware of Sneaky Game
A programming joke presents a sneaky game code where the player is asked to guess a number between one and ten. If the guess matches the number, the player wins. However, if the guess is incorrect, the code would supposedly attempt to delete the system32 directory, a humorous yet impossible outcome that may cause a laugh among programmers.
