zeros(x,1) is not an acceptable solution. A new assert line added and all solutions are rescored

I was wondering what the one line command was to do this when I saw the scores as low as they were!! Those were before the all(y>0) condition was added.

haha! I was discussed this one with binbin yesterday, he said this one was ill-conditioned, sooner or later will be fixed. We submit a solution anyway, sort of for fun. hope you don't mind it. But if really do that can be tricky indeed. good problem.

I don't agree, bainhome, since all non-negative means m can be represented by sets with k/2 zeros and k/2 2*m numbers for any even k, which would render an infinite number of "ill-conditioned" sets for all m. For mean and std 1: [0 2], [0 0 2 2], [0 0 0 2 2 2], [0 0 0 0 2 2 2 2], ... .For mean and std 2: [0 4], [0 0 4 4], [0 0 0 4 4 4], [0 0 0 0 4 4 4 4], ... And for mean and std 3: [0 6], [0 0 6 6], [0 0 0 6 6 6], [0 0 0 0 6 6 6 6], ... In fact , m=0 is just a particular case.

PS: This is not considered a solution for this problem currently since it doesn't allow using zeros.
