Darkness Winners

The team of Hannes Naudé & Cobus Potgieter is our Darkness winner. Previously Twilight winners in the Ants Contest, their win secures a second spot in the MATLAB Contest Hall of Fame. You can read about this dynamic duo from South Africa on the Ants Contest Winners page.

Contestants Farhad Ghassemi, Nicke Carlsson, Imre Polik, and Steve Welburn round out the top five. The Statistics page lists all the top twenty-five finishers. Make special note of the efficiency of other top finishers, like Markus, who secured 6th place with an entry that runs in only 5 seconds.
