why is this happening again and again?
my submission fails due to unavailability of services. If you do such an elaborate time test I will assume the server can handle it..
MESSAGE:
"While evaluating the solution, the server encountered an error caused by temporary unavailability of MATLAB Service. Wait a few minutes for the MATLAB Service to return, and then rescore."
