"Given a set of machine instructions" is generally taken to mean "given any arbitrary set of machine instructions" by folks who talk about things like "sets of machine instructions". So "instructions emitted by Gnat when it compiles a bubble sort" doesn't count, because you're already assuming you know it's a bubble sort. -- Darren New San Diego, CA, USA (PST).
