The description implies they found some clever way to trick iocccsize at the time. Using the current version of iocccsize, it weighs in at 3842, well over the max of 2053.

- lifthrasiir 3y agoNo, `iocccsize` has been updated throughout the history of the contest. The hints mention this, but the accepted secondary size for `cable3.c` was 1,977 tokens. (Later versions of `iocccsize` don't compute secondary sizes at all.) As far as I can tell, the actual abuse here was the inclusion of instruction decoding table in the custom BIOS which didn't count towards the total size at all: > This conversion, along with instruction lengths and how each instruction modifies the flags, is assisted by some lookup tables which form part of the BIOS binary.
