Hi Valentin,

As indicated by my remark above, I was aware of that my solution could be possibly rejected due to the rules but I really thought that matrix multiplication was acceptable in the same way as DOT (scalar or inner product) seems to be allowed.
I could argue more, but it's your challenge, your rules, and that's ok for me.

Still it was fun to play with your teaser and find this solution, and now eager to see yours :-)
