UFO sighting: Trade Area

Virender
7 - Meteor

Hi All,

 

I am practicing for Alteryx advanced certification. I am referring the preparation guide. Where I am not able to understand the solution of practical question.

 

Prepration Guide: https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ayx.policies/Advanced+Certification+Exam+Prep+Guide.pdf


Question: You are investigating recent UFO activity in Colorado. Given the
provided dataset on UFO sightings in Colorado, determine the number
of reported sightings that happened within 5 miles and 10 minutes of
another sighting. (Hint: Count each sighting individually. If two
sightings are within the required distance and time of one another, both
sightings count towards the total). 

 

Please help me to understand the solution.

 

Thanks
