Apparently "releas[ing] the winning source by mid April 2002" actually means "within a year", but you can finally enjoy them here. Or, if you don't enjoy them, you can beat your head against the wall trying to figure out how these programs work ;-)"

    They work here at my company, I'm sure! I always see this kind of obfuscation when I have to debug code writen by other programmers that work with me!

    No, I'm being unfair. IOCCC code is much easier to understand :o)

    To the average VB Developer, the words "Obfuscated C" is redundant.

    The average VB Developer doesn't understand words with as many syllables as "redundant."

    My all-time favorite IOCCC winner has been savastio.

    It's been up on my cube wall for a while. If anyone complains about my code here at work I threaten them to code like it.

    Always works!
