Picking up the pieces

Our machinery broke down badly over the weekend. We’re working to clean it up now. Thanks for your patience, and we are very sorry for the interruption of your contest
fun.

We’re really happy that people are so enthusiastic about the contest, but we would ask for a little restraint, particularly when it comes to some of the brute force attacks.

PS: We’ve been consistently impressed with the MATLAB skills on display here. You may want to consider a job at the MathWorks…
