MATLAB Programming Contest Blog

If you use Twitter, you’ll want to see who the latest leader is with our ContestLeaders Twitter feed. Matt’s rigged it up so you can follow a link directly back to the entry in question. For instance, at this very moment the leader is Amitabh Verma’s Midnight Oil Burner3, and the magic bit.ly link will take you there: http://bit.ly/9obZKI.

   Both the stats page and the twitter feed seem to be missing some of the leaders. For example, right now leader 259 is an entry from Yi Cao, and 260 is one of my entries. However, if you look at entry #4012 submitted by Amitabh Verma, it was in the lead for a while and should be listed as 260.

   Just to clarify, depending on what your actual meaning of the mini-contest rules is and whats going on with the stats page is likely to determine who the longevity mini-contest winner is. As of right now, the stats page shows the 2 longest entries as mine and then Yi Cao’s:

   259 Yi Cao tomorrow is another day. Tue 20:47 0.02% 2.96
   260 Alan Chalker Auto tweaker Tue 23:45 0.00% 4.14

   However I’m not sure these are correctly indicating the actual durations.
