In 1984, the first contest was held. The name of the contest was +simply ``Obfuscated C Code Contest’’.
+Restrictions against machine dependent code were not in the rules in +1984. The source file size restriction was only 512 bytes. Rules and +results were posted to net.lang.c and net.unix-wizards.

+I’m sure you have all seen gross, or down right structurally obscene +C source code before. Some people who deal with various parts of the +UN*X source wonder if some folks try rather hard to produce such down +right smelly code.
+Now you have the chance to compete with the worst C hackers around by +sending in your own obfuscated C program. Just follow the contest rules +below: 1) the source file must be no more than 512 bytes long
+ 2) mail your source to: hplabs!nsc!chongo
+ no later than April 11, 1984. entries posted to
+ the net will NOT be accepted. please give your
+ letter the subject of: obfuscated C code contest.
+
+ 3) winning entries will be posted to net.lang.c after
+ April 12, 1894. (thats the prize folks)
+
+ 4) indicate your net address in the text of your
+ entry, this will be used to give credit unless
+ you indicate that you want to remain anonymous.
+
+ 5) entries must be of original work. (dont send anything
+ that might upset Big Brother Bell) all entries are
+ public domain. (who would want to own them anyway?!)Entries will be judged for: violations of structured programming, +non-clarity, and use of “by the K&R book” C. (use of local mods to C +are not encouraged) extra credit if they can be compiled using the +4.2BSD C compiler on our VAX 780, but dont let the lack of a 780 or 4.2 +discourage you!
