I'm excited to present to you Lap 1 of the 2018 US Grand Prix! If you were at Inspire in Anaheim with us in June, you saw our 3 finalists (@BenMoss, @mattagee, @NicoleJohnson) solve this workflow in front of roughly 3000 Alteryx users and fans.
Tackling this workflow won't compare to the experience our finalists had, but it will give you a glimpse into what it takes to compete in the Grand Prix. To make it more life-like, I suggest doing the following.
1) Open up the workflow and give yourself 2 minutes to read the prompt - don't touch the mouse!
2) Time yourself - the drivers had a maximum of 12 minutes to finish.*
3) To take it to the next level, invite your friends and neighbors over, provide them food and drinks, and put on some headphones as you solve.
*At Inspire, the journey did begin by the drivers having to find the data in Alteryx Connect - I've provided the data for you in the workflow.

Last week's solution has been posted HERE.
A university analyst has been asked to help with course and classroom resource planning. The university sends course times in military time format. The university analyst wants the fields Military Begin Time and Military End Time to display in standard, 12-hour increments. So, if a course ends at 16:30, he would like it to show as 4:30. He also wants to know what the elapsed time is between the two fields mentioned above. How long is each course? Minutes will be the time unit measured.

Last week's challenge can be found HERE!
You have been given some order information that contains a list of orders with SKUs and related quantities. Additionally, you have a data set with the total inventory for each SKU.
You have been tasked with figuring out how to consume all of the inventory with the least amount of orders. In other words, you have been asked to fill the largest orders for each SKU in descending order.
Additionally, only complete orders may be fulfilled. For example, if an order calls for 4 units of a SKU, and only 3 are left in inventory, you can't fulfill the order.
