MATLAB Programming Contest Blog

November 7th, 2011

The weekend is over and the dust has cleared. It’s time to hand out some crowns.

For the second time in a row, Amitabh wins the Saturday Leap prize (see his badges here) with his Vines & Vines, which kept the lead for almost two hours. Amitabh’s remarkable Saturday contributions are especially obvious on our “Percent Improvement” chart. His name appears three times in the stretch following 11/05, or midnight UTC.

Sergey Y. (look at all these badges) takes the Sunday Push prize. You have to appreciate the extraordinary focus that Sergey brings to the Sunday Push. He knew what he wanted to do and he set about it very methodically, racking up a total of ten leading entries, mostly in the small hours of Sunday morning. His focus paid off. Nobody else came near him for the Sunday Push prize.

Well done, and congratulations Amitabh and Sergey! More MATLAB-themed booty will be headed your way. And thanks to all of you who spent your valuable discretionary weekend time trying to squeeze a few atoms of efficiency out of MATLAB program. It’s been fun to watch!
