Comments on: Contest Winner http://blogs.mathworks.com/contest/2006/04/13/contest-winner/ The MATLAB Programming Contest is a semi-annual competition where contestants submit MATLAB code to try to solve a challenge.

I wish luck for him for and admire him for this optimized program. hi

Using the unobfiscator submitted in Matlab file exchange place, with one of the Chuck Norris submissions (and then the Matlab Smart Indent) made it (in my opinion) very readable. Of course no additional comments are added!(except the list of replacement variables). I’ve written it already somewhere.

He must have been watching the queue like a hawk to see the major advances by Hannes & Cobus waiting there, and then submit a tweaked version 5 minutes later, just 9 minutes before the deadline. I think Hannes&Cobus and Mihi had a good strategy to hold back their improved submissions until just before the deadline. Apparently, they didn't cut it close enough, since Tim still had time to tweak and resubmit. Even imcu&oktay had time to tweak Tim's winning submission from the queue and resubmit with 2.5 minutes left, but it wasn't enough to take the prize (thought it came in second). I think it was about 2 hours after the 5pm deadline that one of my submissions came to the front of the queue and took the lead, though I knew there was no reason to celebrate, because by that time, I already realized there were superior entries in the queue. It was fun to participate in such a hotly contested competition. I am looking forward to the next one. -- David Jones Congratulations to Tim Vaughan for a glorious victory.

It seems to me that there is a different clustering routine in it than the one that allowed me to win two phases. But my eyes fail after looking at the encrypted code for longer than a minute, so I can't figure out.
