Contest is closed

The contest is now closed. As many of you noticed, the entry submission door was left open for a while, but it’s closed now. Don’t worry… any entries that arrived after 12 noon Natick time will be disqualified.

At the current rate of entry evaluation, it looks like we’ll have an official winner sometime after midnight Eastern Standard Time. In the meantime, if you want to make sure the queue is healthy, the Contest Status Twitter account is a good tool to consult.

Also, while the contest is fresh in your mind, please visit our UserVoice page to help us make the next contest even better.

Thanks for playing, everyone!

    Just noticed something curious on the statistics page. While some of the charts are updating correctly, others aren’t. For example, the submissions over time chart indicates there are ~2800 entries total, while the activity by hour lists 2300. Likewise, the most active participants only shows me at about 130 entries, which is way low, however ‘all the leaders’ correctly shows me currently in first place.

    Just wanted to post here as well that I think Alfonso should be declared the grand winner since the top 2 entries are identical and MikeR just resubmitted Alfonso’s entry and got a lucky break on the timing.

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).
