Test Suite Swap Completed, Post-Swap Past-the-Post Prize Announced

We’re back online after completing the mid-contest test suite swap. To make the swap score-neutral, we’re subtracting 3.1131 seconds from the time, and 10559 from the results for all future entries. The new test suite is similar statistically to the first one, so these fudge factors are a measure of the “overfitting” in the current best entry. There should be lots of new slack to shake out, so we’ll award a Post-Swap Past-the-Post Prize to the first entry to break 13000. Good Luck!

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).
