   In the different challenge with much less constrained, HHH can return   
   anything convertible to int or it can call abort(), or even execute "for   
   (;;);" once it figures out what is up, which is so poorly defined HHH   
   could just be:   
      
   int HHH(){for (;;);}   
      
   having been written under the free assumption that 'up' is mere   
   'purported presence' (a pointer is passed). My HHH here has no prototype   
   and I'm using C89 so that's sufficient (IIRC).   
      
   Writing C code you better have a lot of free assumption or you'd never   
   get little programs finished.
