The best known, and perhaps the most believable, is five ANDs in a row, a sentence helped by the fact that AND is a conjuction, so with a suitable comma you can insert it between almost any two English sentences and produce a legal compound clause.
Thus the famous complaint by the innkeeper who's just had their pub sign repainted badly, and disappointedly tells the signwriter, "You didn't leave enough space between ROSE and AND, and AND and CROWN.".
The internet being what it is, keen Google Docs users promptly set out to find other grammatical constructs that might also trigger the bug, quickly finding that other conjunctions, if used unexpectedly in five consecutive solo sentences, would do the trick.
Binary search is where you split an ordered list in half, and see if the answer you are looking for would be in the top or the bottom part, like a precisely co-ordinated TV-show game of Higher! Lower! You then discard the half it couldn't be in, and repeat the procedure recursively with the remaining half of the list, thus pruning the search space logarithmically rather than linearly.
Google hasn't yet said what caused the bizarre bug, but it did quickly say it was "Working on a fix", and reports suggest that the fix is already in.
We're assuming, now that the bug is fixed or at least suppressed in Google's cloud code, that you can simply re-open crashy documents and carry on where you left off.
