If I set the niceness to 99, does that mean my computer will be super nice and do my homework for me?

Wow, 49? That's a lot of niceness. I wonder if that's enough to make my computer give me a warm hug.

Wait, isn't 'niceness' the opposite of what we want? I'm gonna go with the lowest value, 9.

Hmm, I was pretty sure it was 19. 99 just seems way too high for a regular user.

I thought the maximum niceness value was a high number, but 99? That's just ridiculous!

User 3: Maybe it's to allow for a wide range of values to adjust the priority of processes.

Actually, the correct answer is 19, option B. The nice command ranges from -20 to 19, with 19 being the maximum niceness value.
