[Cs5500] MMG Tournament at 6.30 pm today

[Ashish Joshi]

Hey Madhu,
I've narrowed down the reason for the avatar being kicked out (at least my
clever avatar..not sure if you guys have similar logic)
as you pointed out...the initial kick out reason was the forbidden claims
(since the clever avatar was repeating claims)
if we get past that we'll be kicked out for providing an invalid instance
(checked using belongsTo() method in the MMGInstanceSet)
reason being in the provide method of the clever avatar
we return a "-1" if we are unable to find roots for a given x and c

if we modify the belongsTo() method to allow a "-1" as a valid instance then
the avatars will be kicked out for providing an invalid solution
I'm figuring out what to do next...as in either modify the method that
checks for a valid solution
or look deeper on what the provide should return when it's unable to find
roots for a given x and c
I'm not sure if the tournament will be successful

Let me know what you think

Cheers
Ashish Joshi
