Doug Hull submitted a Comment to Problem 753. Solitaire Cipher
Made a quick change. This should cause a lot of old solutions to fail. Will process the queue as fast as possible! Thanks!

Yaroslav,
I agree entirely. Unfortunately, every time on other problems that I changed the test suite, the look up tables just came back anyways. We need to eventually randomize test suites. When that is supported well, I will do it!

Suresh, Which test case? Please be more explicit. These were all taken from a list of known problems, so I need more info to understand if one is flawed.

William, Why are for loops not cool?

Doug Hull submitted a Comment to Problem 534. Find best domino orientation
For which test statement is there not a unique solution? We need to fix the test suite if there are two answers of same score.

@Jean,
Huh? Is that a suggestion to add a test?

@Lin,
I think it is timing out. Why are you making your own tests anyways?

Richard,
Being Wikipedia, I just copied the algorithm this test suite was built on. Thanks!

Richard,
I see the difference in our code:
if j2==27
d=[28 d(2:26) d(28) d(1)];
end
proper implementation would be:
if j2 == 27
d = [d(1) 28 d(2:26) d(28)];
end
Basically, it has to skip two cards down the deck. I will clean up the wording, as I have seen several do this on internal implementations here too.
Thanks,
Doug

I just added a test point of x = 11. The answer should be 28. It is.
