No, by 2 because memory addresses are byte addresses but instructions are 
2-byte words and word aligned.

I just remembered two other PDP-11 trivia questions, not model dependent.

1. Describes a one-word program that executes backward in memory.
2. Describe a one-word program that clears the entire 16-bit address space, 
halting on completion.
