Money - S4-E4

Revealing mistake: Michael is on his computer trying to open up PowerPoint in front of everyone in the conference room. He says "what we have to do here is go to run" and he clicks the run icon. However on Windows XP (the version he is using) and all other versions of Windows, clicking "Run" would open a separate window where you would type the name of the program. However, what appears on screen is a context menu as if he had clicked the "All Programs" button. You can even see the highlighted "All programs" button indicating that it was actually pressed. They likely had a PowerPoint presentation running in full screen with screenshots of a Windows desktop on each slide. As Steve clicked arbitrarily on the screen, it would trigger the next slide to appear thus creating the illusion that he was interacting with the operating system. (00:19:16)

The Cover-Up - S6-E23

Question: In the beginning, when Jim and Pam are supposedly communicating through Morse Code, do they actually saying anything? What about the end with Pam and Dwight? What is said? Or is it just random clicks, taps, and blinks to seem like Morse Code for the audience?

Answer: This is what a person on Reddit wrote regarding Jim and Pam: I know Morse code well, and most of it was gibberish, especially Jim's clicks. Pam's second transmission was almost intelligible as SE HE IT (3 clicks 1 click, 4 clicks, 1 click, 2 clicks and long click). "

Answer: I only know the part about the detonator, the rest might be random but Jim said "There is a detonator in this office."

Is that what is actually clicked out? Seems way too long for what how short the scene is. Or are you just guessing that's what was implied because of Dwight's reaction.

Answer: I tried to solve it, seemed like random clicking to me.
