Where can that be found?

Or do you mean the essay on the homepage that efe linked to? I don't believe that was actually written by him, the author is a Frenchman called David Madore.

hmm, to get to Quine challenge I used the solved database to discover what is common for people solving Quine challenge and that shown me the Spiral bits ... now after solving it (and sennding my Quine) and reading what is written about Quine I can see it was writen in this thread ;).

BTW: Quine mentioned by harvestsnow was the challenge what invited me to hacker.org ...

I was a bit disapointed that empty quine is not accepted. I would prefere mentioning it in the challenge description ... but I had 147 bytes long Quine to start with anyways.

So let me start optimization :)

I am on 1774 cycles, 107 ops ...
1692/106
1901/104 ... dead end

The encodding to less than 2ops per op are 2 cycles per decodding ... I don't beleive it's a way to go as cycles are the most expensive part of the solution...

BTW: Why the link does not point to Challenges Solved?
