☠️ Postmortem of the day
An overflow occurred when converting a 16-bit number to a 64-bit numer in the Ariane 5 intertial guidance system, causing the rocket to crash. The actual overflow occurred in code that wasn't necessary for operation but was running anyway. According to [one account](https://web.archive.org/web/20120829114850/https://www.around.com/ariane.html), this caused a diagnostic error message to get printed out, and the diagnostic error message was somehow interpreted as actual valid data. According to [another account](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_%28spacecraft%29?oldid=217305667), no trap handler was installed for the overflow.

Talk about drama! Imagine asking your significant other, "Hey, did you get my message?" only to find out there’s a delay because their brain is using a distributed database! Suddenly, "I’m reading what you wrote" turns into "I’m trying to, but my replicas are out of sync!" Better recalibrate that total price on emotional misunderstandings, pronto.

🧩 Puzzle of the Day
🚪 The Monty Hall paradox
You're on a game show with three doors: A, B, and C. Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say A, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say B, revealing a goat. He then asks if you want to stick with your original choice (A) or switch to the remaining unopened door (C).

Should you stick with your original choice or switch doors to maximize your chances of winning the car?

❓Determine the If Condition Puzzle
The misleading thought here could be that we have to make up a condition to satisfy both - true and false scenarios.
However, we can use a trick - include a print statement in the condition itself:

if (printf("Hello ") && false)
printf("Hello");
else
printf(World");
