2011-11-09 22:12:00 UTC	pushmix by Nicholas Howe	I'm also guessing it is the case mismatch, but the same mismatch was already present in Alex P.'s code, and it passed. Very weird. by Nicholas Howe
2011-11-09 20:28:24 UTC	lasttry03 by Alfonso Nieto-Castanon	Congratulations, nice algorithmic improvement (the same holds for Nicholas) - those spiral solvers really made the difference. I'm still happy about winning the contest of the tweakers, though. :) by Magnus S
2011-11-09 19:32:56 UTC	limpush by Nicholas Howe	Congratulations on some well written code. Even though your entry did not maintain first position, I think it was nicely written. by Venu Lolla
2011-11-09 19:32:52 UTC	pf3pushmixfull by Nicholas Howe	Very nice trajectories! (my own spiral code in lasttry03 uses a worse path finding strategy but it limits the candidate movements to within a fixed radius of the current vine, which might explain why it still works better in some cases) by Alfonso Nieto-Castanon
2011-11-09 19:30:47 UTC	lasttry03 by Alfonso Nieto-Castanon	Congratulations !! by Venu Lolla
2011-11-09 19:18:56 UTC	cleaned floor by Michael Völker	Damn it... still with a bug. Instead of "idtemp = rot90(id,1);" it should be "idtemp = id;". It actually isn't that bad, when this Bug is removed. by Michael Völker
2011-11-09 19:04:39 UTC	pf3pushmixfull by Nicholas Howe	Check out the spiral on board #8 of the sample testsuite. If you want to see how it gets built, uncomment lines 1576-1583. by Nicholas Howe
2011-11-09 19:02:56 UTC	pushmix by Nicholas Howe	I'm also guessing it's a case sensitivity issue, and different versions of MATLAB have handled things differently (http://www.mathworks.com/help/techdoc/rn/f8-1009921.html#f8-1011835). Perhaps on your version of MATLAB calls to subfunctions are not case sensitive, while on the contest machine, they are. This code worked on my machine just fine (R2009a). by Michael Bindschadler
2011-11-09 18:54:02 UTC	Can't beat Nicholas Howe by the cyclist	I'm flattered, but it is clear that Alfonso certainly can beat me (and did)! :-) by Nicholas Howe
2011-11-09 18:18:53 UTC	pushmix by Nicholas Howe	the one in Kurt seems to be lower case? by Alfonso Nieto-Castanon
2011-11-09 18:16:14 UTC	lastttry01 by Alfonso Nieto-Castanon	Nice job, Alfonso! by Nicholas Howe
2011-11-09 18:15:28 UTC	pushmix by Nicholas Howe	I don't understand why this failed. The call to simpleLongestPath is identical to the one in Alex P.'s ? what now? entry, which passed just fine. I didn't modify that part of the code, and it runs just fine on the testsuite on my own computer. Huh. by Nicholas Howe
2011-11-09 17:14:50 UTC	Some say that he once beat Jeffrey Lebowski in a bowling match by Magnus S	The final stage of my contest-long fight against cyclomatic complexity :) - unfortunately quite slow so I had to remove one of the calls to Nick's solver to make it a bit more competitive. by Magnus S
2011-11-09 16:54:57 UTC	Minor final tweak by Alan Chalker	couldn't help myself by Alan Chalker
2011-11-09 16:51:02 UTC	Convtest by Robert Macrae	testing convolvulus by Robert Macrae
2011-11-09 16:44:08 UTC	Fast Spiral by Nicholas Howe	Not competitive, but here's my spiral code (at bottom) by Nicholas Howe
2011-11-09 16:35:03 UTC	Joiner by Nicholas Howe	Not really finished, but it sometimes does what I intend. Look at the result on testsuite #84. Alas, it is terribly slow. by Nicholas Howe
2011-11-09 14:47:24 UTC	mangusta by Yitzchak	to make best choice in final not intermediate result by Yitzchak
2011-11-09 14:18:11 UTC	first55.addr2 by Dimitris Kaliakmanis	Looks like some happy voodoo involved, again. :-) by Michael Völker
2011-11-09 14:11:40 UTC	D'OH! by Michael Völker	I finally understand the NaNny principle... by Michael Völker
2011-11-09 13:41:58 UTC	why NaN? by Michael Völker	Obviously, yes... by Michael Völker
2011-11-09 13:38:42 UTC	why NaN? by Michael Völker	Is there a benefit of masking points with NaN's instead of 0 or something? by Michael Völker
