- obfuscated c contest — (programming) The International Obfuscated C Code Contest (IOCCC) is an annual contest run since 1984 over Usenet by Landon Curt Noll and friends.

The winning programs often manage to be simultaneously funny, breathtaking works of art and horrible examples of how *not* to code in C.
