Judges’ remarks:

Trigraphs are natural obfuscators. Most C-beautifiers become C-uglifiers because they don’t handle them correctly.

Can you figure out how it prints a given random line (or if the line is longer than 231 characters, part of that line) from stdin?

Author’s remarks:

All input lines must be under 232 characters long. The compiling platform should be ASCII based.
