2009 Fall Contest: November 4 - 11

Psst, have you heard?

The next MATLAB contest will be held November 4th through 11th. By popular demand, we’re returning to the traditional contest format.  We think that the new game will be fun for everyone, so make sure you note the date in your calendar.

See you there!

    could you please tell me the date when you will upload the problem of event which is suppose to help in November or it will directly be uploaded at the time of staring of event only.

    Hi Kapil -

    The code will be uploaded when the contest starts at noon (Boston time) on November 4th.

    Would it be possible to announce date/time of all (or at least some) intermediate challenges (1000 characters, 3 min, best result by …) in advance? It may help people who can not dedicate the whole week to the contest.

    Hello SY:

    Some of the intermediate challenges are predictable, but some of them are improvised. We’ll probably continue the tradition of a Sunday Push (best aggregate improvement over 24 hours by one player) and a Tuesday Leap (best single improvement over 24 hours). There will certainly be one or two others, but it’s hard to say exactly what or when.

    Tell us your suggestions for a good creative intermediate prize.

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).
