The hardest chord ever appears in an easter egg in the strong bad e-mail [[Privileges]]. After the paper comes down if you click on the Fretmagic magazines Homestar is holding an article(most likely from the magazine) appears detailing [[Gary Palaroncini]] of [[Limozeen]] and his discovery of the chord. It reads as follows:

*The hardest chord ever uses 11 fingers and Looking closely reveals seven of the eleven fingers are used to depress strings, and some of the strings must be depressed in multiple places behind the fretted point (which alters the pitch by only a few cents). Thus, a shortcut chord could actually be played using only four fingers.

<br>*Assuming the guitar is in standard tuning, the chord demonstrated is structured around an open fifth, with a flat 7 and a major 4 in the bass. The actual chord is an A5b7/D.
