I wish they would explain more about what the actual tasks are. They basically jus said 'you get data and you do calculations'. Well thanks, thats basically all excel. A link to the problem set would be interesting. Real time data from Eve is pretty cool, but whats the actual results they are trying to get? How do they do scoring?

- lIl-IIIl 3y agoThe puzzle description begins at 1:18:44. But it doesn't feel like it's a complete description of the puzzle, just the data format. Do the competitors have a list of questions?
- itishappy 3y agoIndeed they do get lists of questions (including bonus ones)! The puzzle description at 13 minutes explains a bit more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDGdPE_C9u8&t=811s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDGdPE_C9u8&t=811s

- BLKNSLVR 3y agoDirect excerpt that gives an idea of the task(s): "With entertainment in mind, the organisers shortened rounds to 30 minutes and livened up the cases. For example, Ngai had to calculate the market value of a fleet of spaceships using real data from the video game Eve Online – with the action televised live on ESPN."
