I try and I try and I try. And you go and ruin it all by giving a bad example. I am trying to get our people to use better names for their for loop iterators and to not use reserved keywords. You went and broke both of those rules by using "i" in your grade.m

Shame on you. A simple apology and public flogging of the culprit will do. Or a home version of MATLAB.

Please, do not be a bad example again.

The GUI doesn't run on R2006b:
??? Undefined function or method 'bsxfun' for input arguments of type 'function_handle'.

solver is confusing

[Helen Chen]

Luke - We have updated the download file. Use solitaireGUIb.m for older versions of MATLAB. See newsreader thread at http://newsreader.mathworks.com/WebX?14@sQ0ibzv8aR1@.ef55232 for more information.

John - Thanks for pointing that out. We appreciate your feedback!

Good luck to everyone! :-)
