in reply to mini-golf: convert integer into list of powers of two

score = 56, although I don't really understand your spec. Why doesn't f(4) = 1,2,4? 

#            1         2         3         4         5         
#   12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789
perl -E'$n=pop;while(2**$i<=$n){$_.=2**$i.",";$i++}chop;say'          
+  31

1,2,4,8,16

    f(7) is (1,2,4) because 7 is 1+2+4.
