Oliver’s entry and an Early Bird contest

I thought it would be fun to see how Oliver’s twilight winner would do against a familiar picture. Here’s MathWorks Chief Scientist Cleve Moler, as sensed by Last roll of the dice with 100 and 500 queries. Nicely done! Who can do better?

And here’s an announcement for an Early Bird mini-contest. Whoever has the best score by 21:00 UTC (that’s 5 PM here in Natick, for what it’s worth), will be our Early Bird winner. I’ll do the same visualization for the Early Bird winner… it’ll be interesting to see if there’s any noticeable difference.

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).
