#1168: tar
[A woman and a man wearing a white hat stand next to a nuclear bomb. The bomb has a hatch open on top, and a small blinking screen. The two people are shouting off-screen.]]
Woman: Rob! You use Unix!
Man: Come quick!
[[The woman, man, and Rob look at the screen. Rob peers closely. The screen reads:
To disarm the bomb, simply enter a valid tar command on your first try. No Googling. You have TEN seconds.

[[They continue to peer.]]
Man: … Rob?
Rob: I’m so sorry.
