Doug’s MATLAB t-shirt challenge

The new MATLAB programming contest is up as of this morning. I am issuing a challenge to all of you:

If you write a better contest entry than me by the end of the twilight phase (Friday at Noon), I will send you a MATLAB t-shirt. However, if my entry is better than yours, you agree to send me a t-shirt from your company, university or local community.

That is it. The first ten people to comment to this post accepting the challenge are in. I will get your mailing address, if needed, via e-mail so make sure I know how to get in touch with you.

As a note: Normally MathWorkers do not participate in the contest. I was involved with the internal play testing, but I do not have any special knowledge of the test suite or the scores that people are getting. I am not eligible for any prizes and, I will stop playing the contest once the twilight phase is over.

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).
