Code overlap
The aim here is to visualize the degree of overlap between all pairs of entries in the contest.

Btw, I think we both wrote some fancy scripts to generate the country flag of Finland. :)
Small suggestion: you may flip the x-axis, so that readers won't need to travel twice the board size to read the correlation of the entry located at the end.

wow, I learnt a lot from you guys...
The rules said "The thing you will be judging is the HTML document resulting from the published M-file"... so the main objective of a publish m file is still to generate the cleanest looking HTML. So adding these codes may not help the case... well, at least this is the direction I was heading towards. :)
Your idea is to plot the family tree. May be it is better to just draw the family tree nice and clean, and not worry about the time axis... it will be interesting to see who is the parent of all. :)
I like the fact that you mine insightful information from the data.
Many people in the first plot do not show up in the second plot... so I guess creativity is not enough to win a contest. :)

Your idea is to create a GUI to visualize the entries... very cool. I think there are a bit too much information to visualize so it is a little overwhelming, but the GUI control is very useful. Zooming in and out with the middle mouse button is fun. :)
I want to acknowledge Matthew Simoneau in his work "MATLAB Contest Statistics" 23510. Also to James Tursa who wrote bsxfun, although I didn't really use bsxfun in my code - one of the entries I am testing does. You can delete bsxfun if you have R2009a.
us:
You have to get "contest_data.mat" first and run "main_publish.m". In the format of this contest, all documentations are included in the published m file.
contains bsxfun
(clashing with ML's stock function of the same name:
Warning: Function ...\bsxfun.m has the same name as a
MATLAB builtin. We suggest you rename the function to avoid a potential
name conflict.
) created by james tursa - but he is not being acknowledged anywhere in this submission for his nice contribution...
