“I implemented the FizzBuzz algorithm in only 10 million lines of code!”
char* fizzbuzz(int n) {
switch (n) {
case 0: return "fizzbuzz";
case 1: return "1";
case 2: return "2";
case 3: return "fizz";
case 4: return "4";
case 5: return "buzz";
...
}
}

For comparison the original StarCraft game asks for 80 uppercase megabytes of HDD (76.294 of whatever we're calling the lowercase thing today) and for RAM it asks for 16MB/15.259mib.
Sorry, but, mb, in lowercase? Like millibit?
