How to approach it
Picture a computer that has just been switched on for the first time, before anyone adds a single thing to it, and walk through what is already waiting there. Open the menus in your head: accessories, system tools, administrative folders, the little directory of command-line helpers that almost nobody browses. Write down everything that surfaces, even components you have not touched in a decade, because older releases are explicitly allowed. Childhood memories of setup wizards, control panels, screensavers and bundled games are fair material too. Volume matters more than taste at this stage, so draft thirty or forty candidates before judging a single one, then submit the least obvious. Half-remembered spellings and exact command names are usually accepted, so keep them.
Get a hint
Begin with the everyday extras that appear straight after a clean setup: small tools for writing, drawing, calculating, listening or viewing pictures. Any of them qualifies, however plain it looks.
A little more
Widen to the upkeep side: setup assistants, disk and driver utilities, assistive helpers, connection managers and diagnostic panels that sit in administrative or accessory areas.
One step further
Then raid the forgotten edges: scripting shells, tiny commands buried in system directories, screensavers, games and legacy components kept from much older releases. The duller and more obscure the name, the better it scores.

Why these answers count
Look at how the points cluster and the shape of the reveal becomes clear. One solitary submission reached 100 points, 1,716 sat at 85 and only 149 fell to 60, so the bulk of the accepted list is made of neglected corners of the operating system rather than headline software. The 85 band alone runs from leftover graphical panels such as 3D Viewer (85) and Accessibility Wizard (85) to terminal commands like afconvert (85) or apfs_unlockfv (85): names almost nobody would offer in conversation, yet plenty of people dredged them up once the category was framed. Rarity pays because the scoring measures distance from the crowd; a household name would have been written by thousands of players and dragged everyone down together. The 60-point tail is exactly where the familiar, widely bundled items ended up. Anyone chasing points should skip the obvious and mine the margins.
