git mv *.hint -> README.md

There is one exception:

    $ find . -name '*.hint' -execdir git mv '{}' README.md \;
    git statufatal: destination exists, source=1992/albert/albert.hint, destination=1992/albert/README.md

Looking at the two files they differ quite a bit so I've not changed it.
I'll bring this up on GitHub.

The main reason we liked this entry was mainly because the main
effect of the source was self documenting! :-)
Selected Author's comments:
Run this program with two non-negative integer arguments
(e.g. "prog 1234 999").
My goal was to create the fastest possible C program. To that
end, I made three critical observations:
1. If there's one thing computers are good at, it's math.
2. Simple operations take less time than complicated ones.
3. Every C program seems to contain the word "main".
Based on #1, I knew that the Fastest Program had to be one that
performed addition. From #2, I reasoned that it ought to directly
manipulate the bits, rather than wasting time dealing with bloated,
high-level, fuzzy-logic, artificial-intelligence, neural-net,
client-server, object-oriented abstractions like the C language "+"
operator. And it was obvious from #3 that the program should
resemble, as closely as possible, a long sequence of the familiar
word "main" repeated over and over, so the computer would be
comfortable running the program and wouldn't get distracted dealing
with unfamiliar variable names.
Also, I've looked at some past winning entries of your contest, and
if you don't mind a little constructive criticsm, some of them are
kind-of hard to figure out. I didn't want my program to fall into
the same trap, so I went out of my way to write self-documenting
code. Anyone who so much as glances at my program will immediately
see that it adds two 16-bit unsigned integers by streaming their
bits through a simulated cascade of hardware adders. I hope my
diligent effort to write especially clear code gets me extra points!
P.S. What does "obfuscated" mean?
