The fourth MATLAB® Programming Contest, Mastermind®, ran from September 17-21, 2001.
The challenge was to write an algorithm to solve a variation of the classic Mastermind puzzle. Each entry did its best to determine unknown sequences of colored pegs.
This submission includes all the files needed to develop and score an entry, including the test suite we kept secret during the contest.
