Quantum entanglement is known to provide a strong
advantage in many two-party distributed tasks. We investigate the
question of how much entanglement is needed to reach optimal
performance. For the first time we show that there exists a purely
classical scenario for which no finite amount of entanglement suffices.
To this end we introduce a simple two-party nonlocal game H, inspired by
Lucien Hardy�s paradox. In our game each player has only two possible
questions and can provide bit strings of any finite length as answer. We
exhibit a sequence of strategies which use entangled states in
increasing dimension d and succeed with probability 1 − O(d−c ) for some
c ≥ 0.13. On the other hand, we show that any strategy using an
entangled state of local dimension d has success probability at most 1 −
Ω(d−2 ). In addition, we show that any strategy restricted to producing
answers in a set of cardinality at most d has success probability at
most 1 − Ω(d−2 ). Finally, we generalize our construction to derive
similar results starting from any game G with two questions per player
and finite answers sets in which quantum strategies have an advantage.
