Nice! That's an ultra-short version your previous 'blob' code right?
I have to admit something: although this kind of challenge is extremely fun and.. challenging.., there is a little quirk with having a code size limit. This only serves one purpose: obfuscate the code, variable with only 1 letter, no white space, etc. Even if the limit would be 4KB or more, compact code would allow more stuff than clean code. This is not good practice and not friendly for sharing tricks and algorithms.
A better challenge would be to do something with an .EXE size limit: then again, we may need to specify a framework and a short list of available modules or else size wouldn't be comparable. But this might restrict creativity ..! Argh :)
