    i send a new prog … go up … but after some min some one send my code and get my place and i fall to second!!

    Because the difference in time is small and we’re low on the exponential time penalty, these two scores are the same due to round-off error.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
