"Please note that a 32 bit program running on a computer with a 64 bit operating system should output "64". You can assume that users will use 64 bit software whenever possible." (Which, honestly, I'm having a hard time making sense of.) | |

You can shave off 7 bytes if you're using the REPL and os instead of process: os.arch().slice(1)
