This makes NO SENSE!🎁

It is hard to see, but he turns the second box 90 degrees before removing the lid. If the boxes are not perfect cubes, he might be able to fit the first box in the second box. I don't think the lid would close all the way, but it doesn't have to. It creates the illusion that the smaller box contains the larger one.

Rare Golden Ship Galaga Glitch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_58poXHxOg&t=877s
The golden ship reemerges when the game switches back to the second player.
The enemy ship switched to the wrong characters for that sprite but kept the same color palette. If we assume that ship type is a single byte value, then that byte was somehow overwritten with a bad value, hypothetically a zero or a one which could be the value for the player ship. Errors like this could be caused by a memory overflow where a value was written outside the bounds of a table or the limited stack memory was exceeded.
I learned that if Player 1 exceeds 999,999 points, it will not display the millions in the score. It is not clear if the player's score still counts as being over a million, or if it goes back to zero. However, the second player does not have this problem and his score can reach 8 digits.

Pure Imagination Piano Solo

The mysterious case of the "lost positive"

English is a mess and probably always will be. It combines West Germanic languages, Latin, Old Norse, and French. This gives us more words that mean the same thing.
At one time English had grammatical gender just like many languages do today, but dropped it. I'm grateful for this simplification.
