Problem 784. Cody Computer Part 4 : Are you a morning Cody player Addicted ?

This is a stupid Cody challenge.

You just have to click "Submit" between 7 and 9 AM. ... Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). To see the time in the GMT time : http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/

The test suite only checks the current hour .

Aurelien, it might be nice if the assert had an error message (eg assert(isequal(y,y_correct),sprintf('%s','Time is ',datestr(now,'hh')))

So, does this only work if you are clicking 'Submit' between 7 and 9 EST?

James on 23 Jun 2012

Nope. Tried at 7:08 AM EST, and got it wrong. What time zone are we dealing with here?

Aurelien Queffurust on 25 Jun 2012

Thanks Richard for the tip. I have now added the assert that you suiggested. In France it seems that you can solve it between 9 and 11 o'clock . I guess that these + 2 hours correspond to the difference with UTC (or GMT) .

That's why I used the NaN on my Prime Time problem that's similar to this one. isequal with NaN will return false. :-)
