    \$\begingroup\$ So there's no standard tool to convert this into an executable, and the same encoding could be applied equally to any of the other answers? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 17, 2013 at 9:49

    \$\begingroup\$ If you refuse to call home.paulschou.net/tools/xlate a "standard tool", then no. But it certainly existed when this challenge started. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 17, 2013 at 10:48

    \$\begingroup\$ This could be seen as source code, as it only needs a single tool to become machine code. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 17, 2013 at 11:57

    \$\begingroup\$ @dan1111, it was meant to be a stretch. :) But it would not be very difficult to write this directly, using nothing but Intel documentation. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 17, 2013 at 12:40

    \$\begingroup\$ Sorry, but I'm going to have to disqualify this for the same reason as why I disallowed Brainfuck and Whitespace. When the language in question is limited to a small number of characters (8 for Brainfuck, 3 for Whitespace, 2 for any binary representation), it has an obviously unfair advantage over other submissions. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 17, 2013 at 22:48
