Answer 1

I created mine with this code:

internal class Program
{
    private static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            var limit = 9400;
            while (true)
            {
                var thread = new Thread(() => IncreaseMemory(limit));
                thread.Start();
            }
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            // swallow exception
        }

    }

    private static void IncreaseMemory(long limity)
    {
        var limit = limity;

        var list = new List();
        try
        {
            while(true)
            {
                list.Add(new byte[limit]); // Change the size here.
                Thread.Sleep(1000); // Change the wait time here.
            }
        }

        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            // do nothing
        }
    }

}
