And when you want to make the code readable you try to space things out, split things in small functions, use longer and clear variables name. I guess they are asking for running the code trough a minifier so their implementation gains some points.

I can't find the documentation for it, but you can see here that they measure the size of the source file after gzip compression, which reduces advantage of code-golf solutions:

Thanks Isaac. How do I reach that page? I expected it on one of the informational pages such as the home page or benchmark programs page, but had no luck.

There's a "How programs are measured" link on these pages which show measurements:

On other benchmarks they measure the size of source code after it's been run through compression, as a way to normalize that. Not sure if that's been done here, but it should be.

Yes, they're the same measurements.
