I remember reading about this last year, and it was a pretty neat contest.  It's going on again this year.  Basically, you have to write some code that runs fast on one OS, and sloooooow on another.  But you have to make it look perfectly innocent so that somebody viewing the code doesn't immediately see what's going on.

Oh, its C only. =(
