In response to a similar question about 'hex' code on the Euphoria maillist,
I once posted an old program sans comments to see if anyone could identify 
what it did. 

To my surprise, I immediately had several replies describing not only the 
platform, but a good guess as to the functionality of the program.

I'll just post the first few lines, let's see if anyone here recognizes it:

..... that should be enough to establish a pattern ;)
