Obfuscation in this entry consists of:
* `printf()`ing console messages stored as EBCDIC character values - this is not
* `printf(3)`ing console messages stored as
[EBCDIC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBCDIC) character values - this is not
an attempt at encryption, but rather at cross platform compatibility.
* ASCII character values are calculated from the EBCDIC in a particularly ugly
abuse of the '?' operator.
* [ASCII](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII) character values are calculated
from the EBCDIC in a particularly ugly abuse of the `?:` operator.
* Detection of whether to print the ASCII or EBCDIC values is done by taking the
remainder of dividing the character `'J'` by `2` - the ASCII value of the
character is even, the EBCDIC value is odd.
* The messages to be `printf`ed are determined via multiple table lookups and
* The messages to be `printf(3)`ed are determined via multiple table lookups and
bit-masked values.
* For minutes, the bit position turned on is multiplied by two to determine the
message to be `printf`ed.
message to be `printf(3)`ed.
* For hours, the straight bit position is used.
* This entry mostly eschews function calls for the often overlooked
setjmp/longjmp combination.
`setjmp(3)`/`longjmp(3)` combination.
* The trigraphs are not there as obfuscation nor are they there to annoy the
judges - it's just the easiest way to get around the absence of square brackets
in a normal 3270 environment.
