Liked because 1) It's not spam and 2) You use my "better way to do this?" tag for the same reason I do.

I also dislike the recent trend of spoiling Cody with trivial problems. Some people, especially those top 4 players on the Triathlon scoreboard, have generated too many trivial problems, in the hope of wining the Triathlon prizes (related to MATLAB central's 15 years celebration). This shameful behavior damaged not just the Triathlon competition, but also our Cody platform.

I understand better now why Cody becomes so boring. Thank you for the explanations.

We have increased the score required to create a problem. So this should not happen anymore.

Hi Aditya, Could you take a look at this problem: http://nl.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/cody/problems/43117-2d-indexes? Every time I click the "Solve" button, my internet browser cannot be directed to the right page.

Peng Liu on 15 Oct 2016

I figured out what 's wrong there. The correct link is www.mathworks.com/ ..., not nl.mathworks.com/...

Aditya Jain on 16 Oct 2016

Awesome.
