Ned Gulley submitted a Comment to Problem 1515. Procrustean bed
I love vector problems with classically-inspired titles! Good old Procrustes...

I cleaned up the problem statement and fixed the first test.

You should call this a volcano matrix!

Ned Gulley submitted a Comment to Problem 1384. Who invented zero?
Hi Harish:
Keep in mind that fill-in-the-blank style questions aren't a great match for Cody since competitors can always inspect the test suite.

Ned Gulley submitted a Comment to Problem 1378. Young's modulus
I went ahead and fixed the function calls in the test suite.

Ned Gulley liked Problem 1376. Find names/words that start and end with the same letter.

Ned Gulley submitted a Comment to Problem 45. Make a Palindrome Number
That function is in the Bioinformatics Toolbox (http://www.mathworks.com/help/bioinfo/ref/seqreverse.html). Cody permits only MATLAB functions.

Ned Gulley submitted a Comment to Problem 1371. Altitude of locations on the earth
Dan, could you provide some more specifics here? Altitude in meters, feet, or furlongs? Against what reference? Number of significant digits you expect? Latitude and longitude are in decimal degrees? An example would also help.

dec2bin returns a string. This problem is looking for numbers.

Ned Gulley submitted a Comment to Problem 55. Counting Sequence
My mistake guys. Sorry about that. By the way, these comments are very helpful for adding (and fixing) bad test cases. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Thanks for the additional test question!

Ned Gulley submitted a Comment to Solution 174526
I see two problems. It needs to be a function (as modeled by the template), and the input command hangs and times out when called by a web service.

Done. People never get tired of look-up tables.

Ned Gulley submitted a Comment to Solution 207786
To keep Cody from degenerating into a bunch of unreadable party tricks, we've blocked usage of eval, evalc, and a few others. But regexp is too important for us to block, so this trick will remain available into the foreseeable future. Which means, to back up Alfonso's comment, please don't abuse it. It's funny once, and then it just gets annoying.

Ned Gulley submitted a Comment to Solution 208601
Yes... sorry about that. It turns out the STR2FUNC function was being badly abused in the name of writing short answers. Since we saw almost no places where it was being used responsibly, we decided to invalidate all answers with STR2FUNC. It's a compromise, but we think on balance that it's the right thing to do.

Ned Gulley submitted a Comment to Problem 420. Sum the Infinite Series II
There seems to be agreement that test case 3 has issues. Since the original author never returned, I commented out that test case.

Ned Gulley submitted a Comment to Solution 180722
My apologies. I don't know why I had this wrong before, but according to my description, yes, test 3 should return [].

Ned Gulley submitted a Comment to Problem 1035. Generate a vector like 1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,4
Your function has to use exactly the same name that is provided in the function template. In this case, the function must be called "you_fcn_name". You wrote a function called "GenerateVector". Change the name of your function and it should pass.

Whoops! Thanks for pointing that out. I might've eventually gotten suspicious after seeing absolutely everybody passing...

Ned Gulley submitted a Comment to Solution 180722
In test 3, A is wholly contained within B. But I added another test case that should return the empty set [].
