200 bits for this one.
What your program has to do is output "Hello World" to the screen. There's a catch though: your goal is to make your code as confusing and difficult to read as possible.
Only rule is that your code must be indented properly.
Your program must finish executing within 5 seconds of loading up.
Go!

yea good question.. although keep in mind martin, obfuscation is really vague.. it covers horrifyingly messy code to beautifully decorated code.. but one thing is for sure: the code should break standard coding conventions and they do tend to make decyphering difficult.
edit: i suggest looking at international obfucated coding contests.. they give a better picture.
