One interesting spin is: can you solve this problem using a freepass?

Jean-Marie Sainthillier on 7 Aug 2013

OK.

James on 8 Aug 2013

It will, but will the freepass work again if I rescore the solution? :-)

Just curious, is this still solvable at all, or are there no working hacks left that will pass this?

Dyuman Joshi on 24 Mar 2023 at 8:11

It doesn't look like it. Most of the solutions use evalin(), which is no longer allowed on Cody. Other hacks are also no longer valid on Cody.

Christian Schröder on 24 Mar 2023 at 18:15

@Dyuman thanks. Now you've got me wondering how on Earth you'd use evalin() to handle the malformed expressions in the test suite, as that really seems to be the biggest obstacle to me,
