Judges’ remarks:

This program was designed to maximize the bother function for structured programmers. This program takes goto statements to their logical conclusion. The layout and choice of names are classic.

We consider this to be a beautiful counter-example for Frank Rubin’s letter to ACM form titled: “‘GOTO Considered Harmful’ Considered Harmful”. See the Communications of the ACM, March 1987, Page 195-196.
