The new MATLAB contest is up and running.

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!
