What were the criteria again?  The declared winner

(i *= 2) > 100 and break i while i = i || 1

      is longer than either

(i <<= 1 while (i = i||1) < 100) || i

      or

(i += i while (i ||= 1) < 100) || i

and so far as I can see does the same thing.  Were they supposed to be
obscure?  Or not?  Or...?
