    Do I smell an April fools joke? I sure hope not because I love Matlab’s Programming Contests!

    Really and truly, it’s not an April Fool’s joke. The contest is launching shortly! Get ready for some way cool fun!

    It could well be: It’s 12:33pm EDT and the message deliberately and carefully said 12pm EDT.

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).
