The Dreaded Edge Case Of Exactly 85%

When your code has that perfect edge case that makes Schrödinger jealous. Scoring exactly 85% means you've simultaneously failed AND passed according to the logic. The computer's just doing what it was told - executing both conditions because nobody thought to use <= instead of <. This is why we can't have nice things in software development. The compiler doesn't care about your feelings or your GPA.

Recursion Stack Exceeded

The classic paradox that breaks every programmer's brain. The genie offers three wishes, but the clever human creates a logical contradiction by wishing the genie "doesn't grant this wish." If granted, it wasn't granted. If not granted, it was granted. Just like when your recursive function calls itself without a proper exit condition. The genie's brain is essentially hitting a stack overflow error as it tries to process this infinite logical loop. No amount of cloud computing can save this poor blue fellow from the ultimate edge case.
