Given your day job, a brand new rtl game springs to mind[1]. So, jumping
ahead...
rtl23: "Tamp the Blasting Cap". Or "Eve of Destruction"... or "Test to
Failure"... or "The REAL C4 Challenge". What is the minimum amount of LEGO that
is needed to completely contain the detonation of one standard blasting cap [2]?
"Contained" is defined by putting the blasting cap in the center 2x2 hole of a
6x6 pillar made of red 2x4s 8 layers tall - all red LEGO fragments must be
contained within the structure. In the event that more than one structure
survives the first round, the winner will be determined by one of two methods:
lightest LEGO structure to fully contain the blast, or repeated testing until
only one surviving LEGO structure is left. I strongly favor the 2nd option.

[1] Just in case I have to spell it out, YES I'M JOKING! *DO NOT* actually play
around with anything like this. I shouldn't have to spell it out, but given
personal experience with the really dumb things folks will do with explosives
[see 2 below], I really feel I need to make this explicit.
[2] [deleted footnote as it would conflict with ToS point #5 under groups, but
my personal experience consists of a blasting cap, a new blasting machine
begging to be tested... and one now very defunct clothes dryer].
