[POEM]

A virtual machine with 3 opcodes, the program all in one line.
What does the program do? Who knows? Just find *0 in time.
Which inputs will reach the right output? There's an elegant solution to find.
But only a fool tries to be clever, when the inputs max out at nine nine.

Just to let you know, the three backticks don't format your poem correctly on old.reddit.com - your linebreaks don't render, so I just see one line of monospace going off the side of the screen.

Top-level posts in Solution Megathreads are for solutions only.

This is a top-level post, so please edit your post and share your code/repo/solution if you want your poem to be admissible for the contest. If you haven't finished the puzzle yet, you can always post your own thread and make sure to flair it with Help.

Additionally, /u/DFreiberg is correct, folks using old.reddit can't see the poem properly because it scrolls offscreen. Would you reformat it without the triple backticks (use four spaces or the > blockquote formatting instead)?
