We're excited to introduce this years highly anticipated #SANTALYTICS challenge! This will be the fourth edition of what has become a very special Alteryx Community tradition.
Now let's have some fun, Alteryx style!
On his way back to the North pole, the antimatter-matter converter on Santa’s sleigh malfunctioned opening up a black hole, pulling him deep into a time rift.
What most people don’t know, as it is rarely mentioned in the widely shared children’s stories of Santa and his reindeer, is that Rudolph has always had a knack for data analysis and space/time science.
...typing...
Rudolph: If we can find traces of these neutrino emissions in the Community, we should be able to reconstruct the year that Santa ended up.... of course, we’ll have to use Alteryx Designer.
Dancer: But Rudolph! Where would we even look!?
Rudolph: Based on the superposition and mass of the sleigh the Neutrinos were likely dispersed in a wide pattern, so we’ll have to split up and each cover a different area of the Community...
Prancer: But, what are we even looking for?
Rudolph: Neutrino Oscillation patterns present themselves as whole numbers. Once we’ve assembled all the numbers, we’ll use Designer to determine the year Santa was sent to.
It makes perfect sense. Santa got lost in time, and the reindeer are hunting for clues lost in Community to find him. It’s a Scavenger Hunt!
Your SANTALYTICS 2019 mission is to help the reindeer locate and assemble patterns required to rescue Santa.
THE CHALLENGE
Over the next 9 days, you’re invited to help Santa’s loyal reindeer search the Community far and wide for numbers left in the wake of the explosion. As patterns emerge, the reindeer will share what they’ve found with each other (and you!) in the Community Lounge.
Subscribe to SANTALYTICS in the Community Lounge to get notified each time a new clue is posted or tune in to #SANTALYTICS on Twitter for daily updates!
