MATLAB Contest started

The new MATLAB contest is up and running: [Click here]

Here is the challenge. Given a board with numbered pins, your job is to connect each pin to all other pins with the same number. Thus in the diagram above, the pins labeled 11 should be connected to each other. Similarly, the pins labeled 8 and 3 should be connected to their respective partners. Every time you connect a group of pins, your score improves (is reduced by) the total value of the pins connected.

I was lucky enough to get to try this contest internally before we set it out for the MATLAB community to solve. I think this should be interesting with a lot of depth. Please give it a try and enjoy. The contest is a great way to hone your MATLAB skills and see how other MATLAB programmers think!

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).
