Quine relay [1] is to this day the most "I will never understand this" brainfuck project I have ever seen.

It is so mysterious how it's even possible, and hilariously the explanation of how it was made exists in Japanese only. I think at this point it would be easier to learn Japanese than to try to understand this project.

Other things like a brainfuck interpreter in brainfuck are impressive but don't come nearly as close to black magic as quine-relay.
