In order to do so, the test suit will run your function (it is your function and therefore it has your luck) and check the time.

This procees is repeated 200 times, and if your function succeeds all tests, you will have solved the problem, thus proving you are incredibly lucky!</w:t></w:r></w:p><w:p><w:pPr><w:pStyle w:val=\"text\"/></w:pPr><w:r><w:rPr><w:b/></w:rPr><w:t>Note:</w:t></w:r><w:r><w:t> If you noticed, the probability of solving the problem (assuming the time is completely random) is 5^-200, in honor of the 5th anniversay of Cody.</w:t></w:r></w:p></w:body></w:document>"},{"partUri":"/matlab/output.xml","contentType":"text/xml","content":"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" standalone=\"no\" ?><embeddedOutputs><metaData><evaluationState>manual</evaluationState><layoutState>code</layoutState><outputStatus>ready</outputStatus></metaData><outputArray type=\"array\"/><regionArray type=\"array\"/></embeddedOutputs>"}]}

Shorter solutions say "You may solve another problem from Community group to unlock all the solutions to this problem." But the Community link is to www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/cody/groups/1 which does not exist...
No group in the range 1:41 has the title Community...
