OK - so this one was a bit wierd - why can't they separate aiming and driving.    Don't let these people on a motorbike!

Part 1:  Just summarised the directions - then cross-tabbed them and added them together.

Part 2:

Given that the Aim drives Distance and depth - started with a multi-row for aim; then another multi-row for depth, then the distance.

Just to be clear @cgoodman3 and   @NicoleJohnson - what is the official tool count to quality for "Tool Golf" and is it unique tools or unique types of tools?

Unique tools I think is how I see it (so minimise tool id tags in the xml).
