I just saw this interesting SO question - "Build a Compiler Bomb". The goal is to write the smallest source code that produces the largest output EXE, much like a "zip bomb", "XML bomb", etc. (Hi, NSA, I'm sure you're flagging keywords.) There's no Delphi entry! I think that's a terrible thing and good challenge - go!

(I think Delphi isn't vulnerable to several of the techniques used in other languages, which is a really nice thing. But it's a very interesting challenge. I'd accept answers which make the compiler think for minutes or hours at a time, too - there's probably a high correlation between answers and potential new QP reports.)

  2. Much as I know everyone jokes about the initial size of an application, that's only a few MB. I'm sure you can beat that...?
