The International Obfuscated C Code Contest (IOCCC) has returned for its 2024 edition after a four-year hiatus, celebrating its 40th anniversary with a record 23 winners. Among the notable entries, Adrian Cable's code received the "Prize in murky waters" for its deceptive functionality, while Ilya Kurdyukov's code artistically represented the moon's phases without using floating-point arithmetic. The contest continues to revel in the spirit of creative, irregular coding, bolstered by a rich history of humor and wordplay.
