I was kept occupied all day on this one... Is it the same as yours?

:''+Ans+'':'+Ans
":Output(2,1,"
isp 'PROGRAM:A':
'"+Ans+"':"+Ans
A true TI-Basic quine. That's magnificent. :)
[EDIT]
Oh, no! Yours is smaller. :P
[EDIT×2]
Oh wait, the number of times the title appears should work as a multiplier, right?
This is 88 − 4 = 84 bytes! I win!

Okay... my solution, at 84 bytes, is
Spoiler wrote: [font="courier new"]PROGRAM:GDB1GDB1
:"ClrHome:Output
(1,1,'PROGRAM:GD
B1GDB1:''+Ans+''
:'+Ans":ClrHome:
Output(1,1,"PROG
RAM:GDB1GDB1:'"+
Ans+"':"+Ans I was surprised at how different our two programs were, while I was coding it, there seemed to me to be little room for variation. However, you can see some similar patterns in the two programs...

Both programs have the string [font="courier new;font-size:9pt;line-height:100%;color:darkblue"]:''+Ans+'':'+Ans": somewhere in the middle and [font="courier new;font-size:9pt;line-height:100%;color:darkblue"]:'"+Ans+"':"+Ans at the very end. But, you even got two [font="courier new;font-size:9pt;line-height:100%;color:darkblue"]ClrHome's in there. No fair. For a while, I believed that it was possible to use [font="courier new;font-size:9pt;line-height:100%;color:darkblue"]:"PROGRAM:A as the last line in order to output the title to the top, but that sadly never worked out. I even found a much simpler version that would print the source while ignoring the header, but that should be easy now given what we have learned. :)
This beats out the HQ9+ interpreter I wrote a while back.

Quote: Here's a TI-basic edition:
PRGM:A
:prgmB
Outside the box, but still, we would just look in program B
That is what I had. I knew you could use the Ans variable to get it into only one program, but I haven't had time lately to experiment with that.

Well, if I'm cheating, then...

Lets keep this going. Who wants to give it a shot at making another teaser?
