"What color are the pins on the electrical cord?"

No matter the answer, you can be damn sure they rebooted.

A bit harder in the laptop era though.

In what possible instance would they not be copper colored?

I think the idea is that average people have no clue what color they are. So they'd be forced to take it out to check and thus have to restart their PC. It's a trick!

Altho, maybe I'm misunderstanding something because all the pins of all the electrical cords I've ever seen have been silver?
