Yes, indeed.  In response to a challenge posted on one of the x86 assembler
newsgroups about two years ago, one intrepid Russian programmer produced a
generic Sudoku solver in a 65-byte executable.  Yes, that's 65 BYTES -- not
KB, not MB.

I consider myself an x86 assembler expert, but I remain in awe of that
code.
