Obfuscation

You may be familiar with the International Obfuscated C Code Contest. I could not find anything similar for Java, but I did find a couple of nice examples involving abuse of Unicode escapes and abuse of variable names, shift operators and layout. Despite their age, I had little trouble compiling and running both examples. Save the first one as h.java (yes, lower case h). The second one has HTML entities that you need to unescape (e.g. change &lt; to <, etc.) and you can take out blank lines for the full effect.

So, do the members of this community want to have a go at bettering those examples? If so, I'll knock up some rules we'll see what people come up with.
