This was my first Matlab contest, and I probably enjoyed it much.
Thanks to the MathWorks team for setting up such an interesting
problem and running the contest so well.
IMO, darkness and twilight could each be 1/3 of the contest length,
with daylight at the end.
The many sub-contests were definately fun and good incentive to keep
coding/ tweaking/ thinking along the way.
Also, props to those who figured out the strategy of trying out new
ideas on the contest suite "under the radar" by intentionally slowing
down some other part of the code. I think the reason this was
happening is that toward the end of the contest, it was basically
useless to test suite on local computers for comparing performance.
I'm not sure if there is a way to make the contest suite and test
suite more comparable, but I'd be for it if so.
Is there any chance the contest suite will be published now that its
over?
Congrats to all the winners! I look forward to the next contest.
