some folks didn't get this, so here are the winning enties again.

<dis>honorable mention:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
int i;main(){for(;i["]<i;++i){--i;}"];read('-'-'-',i+++"hell\
o, world!\n",'/'/'/'));}read(j,i,p){write(j/p+p,i---j,i/i);}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
anonymous entry   (too embarassed that he/she could write such trash i guess)



Third place:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
a[900];		b;c;d=1		;e=1;f;		g;h;O;		main(k,
l)char*		*l;{g=		atoi(*		++l);		for(k=
0;k*k<		g;b=k		++>>1)		;for(h=		0;h*h<=
g;++h);		--h;c=(		(h+=g>h		*(h+1))		-1)>>1;
while(d		<=g){		++O;for		(f=0;f<		O&&d<=g

;printf(	a[b<<5|c	]?"%-4d"	:"    "		,a[b<<5

P.S.  I hope you have the C beautifier! The program accepts ONE positive
      argument.  Seeing is believing!  Try something like "cmd 37" for an
      example.  <ed: also try cmd 4; cmd 9; cmd 16; cmd 25; cmd 36; ...>



Second place award:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#define x =
#define double(a,b) int
#define char k['a']
#define union static struct

extern int floor;
double (x1, y1) b,
char x {sizeof(
    double(%s,%D)(*)())
,};
struct tag{int x0,*xO;}

*main(i, dup, signal) {
{
  for(signal=0;*k * x * __FILE__ *i;) do {
   (printf(&*"'\",x);	/*\n\\", (*((double(tag,u)(*)())&floor))(i)));
	goto _0;

_O: while (!(char <<x - dup)) {	/*/*\*/
	union tag u x{4};
  }
}


while(b x 3, i); {
char x b,i;
  _0:if(b&&k+
  sin(signal)		/ *    ((main) (b)-> xO));/*}
  ;
}
