In 2005 a group of rubyists held the first (and only) annual International Obfuscated Ruby Code Contest. The contest, in the vein of the International Obfuscated C Code Contest, sought to judge submissions of syntactically valid Ruby code on how unreadable the source was. Subsequently the domain went down and all the content was made unavailable, except for what was left on archive.org. This is a mirror of much that content.
