From: Sergey Y. on 3 May 2010 19:25 Hi. To avoid confusion with time zone change could you please clarify what will be the time of final Wednesday deadline? (And do we need to expect one more sudden challenge on Tuesday?) Sergey
From: Matthew Simoneau on 3 May 2010 21:48 Sergey, the contest ends Wednesday at 16:00 UTC (or 12:00 EDT): http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=5&day=5&year=2010&hour=16&min=0&sec=0&p1=0 (Remember the 10-entry-per-hour limit as we approach the deadline.) With respect to additional mid-contest challenges, Ned announced a longevity prize for Tuesday on the contest blog.
From: Helen Chen (gmail) on 4 May 2010 10:20 Dimitri had a suggestion about the contest in a different thread: "It would be usefull for players to be able to cancel their submission while the last is yet in qeue, if they realise that this submission has bugs or errors. With this capability the qeue list would shrinked giving a breath to mathworks contest computer and reducing the mean waiting time till submission evaluation. I hope mathworks contest team take this as a usefull peace of advice. Please reply me wether or not you agree with me. " I'm interested in feedback from other players. Is this something that you would think would enhance your contest experience? Thanks for your feedback! Helen

It doesn't make much sense to wait for an entry which is not going to yield the expected result. I am definitely in favor of such an option coz it will only make the contest more fast paced.

I do not expect anybody to use it in real life if it does not affect submission counter. If you remove deleted submission from submission counter, then life will be even more hectic – possible rush of submission deleting when new leader appears. I am sorry for beating a dead horse, but I have only one dream – CAPTCHA.
