still trying to figure it out... did you use some combination of evalin('caller','cleanCellCode',...); evalin('caller','pass',...); in your evaluation suite? otherwise, care to provide a hint?

a hint: sin() may be appropriate for some input!!

guessed about overloading, but I am curious, how do you get those bits of code not showing up on your test suite? (also, unrelated, it is a strange world where cos(pi/4+pi/4)=1/sqrt(2)...)

Alfonso Nieto-Castanon on 25 Feb 2012

or perhaps there is just some issue with the cody machinery today, some of the 'valid' solutions seem rather 'invalid', and the size computation just plain strange...

Actually, I like the problem, but don't understand this particular solution.
