Geeky C Code contest
By Ria Sharma

The 20th International Obfuscated C Code Contest is now open. The last date of submission is Jan 12, 2012.

The dictionary meaning of Obfuscate is to a) To render obscure b) To darken. C). To confuse: his emotions obfuscated his judgment.  And that’s what this popular geeky contest is all about.  On the contest website, the goals are described as

- To write the most Obscure/Obfuscated C program under the rules below.
- To show the importance of programming style, in an ironic way.
- To stress C compilers with unusual code.
- To illustrate some of the subtleties of the C language.
- To provide a safe forum for poor C code. :-)
