0x46. Have the number wrong in the last way, skipping the number 69 to avoid sexual jokes.
0x47. Make them program in Malboge by hand.

Err, 71, right?

Tell them to code something in BASIC, then hand them an nspire :P

72: Tell them to code an infinite loop where every available memory address is set to 0

74: Leave their keyboard, but secretly switch its layout to AZERTY (or QWERTY if you used that before).

EDIT: I actually have a secret stash of tr1p1eas (as well as a rechargeable set I use) so I never run out :D
