My solution breaks down as follows

    3   three #include lines
    4   four blank lines between functions (or #include)
   12   four functions, each with three non-body lines
   10     one function (main) with 10 lines in its body
    2     one function with 2 lines in its body
    2     two functions with 1 body line each
 ----
   33   total lines


Style observed

  Lines at most 79 characters
  Only one statement or declaration per line, except after for() or if()
    a single-statement body is allowed on same line, if everything fits
  Exactly one blank line before each function
  Indented nested blocks (eg, after for()) always use braces, 1TBS
  No blank lines inside functions
  All functions other than main() defined before use (the opposite
    of my preferred style)
