I thought I'd give it a second shot playing tool golf. 5 tools without the Input - for both parts :-)
After talking to others, seems like tool golf has the rule to provide the exact answer in a row (and not use profiling in the browse tool. Here is the adjusted version: Still counting five tools.
Early 5am rise to be competitive on the leaderboard. Like in previous years a nice simple start which is very suited to Alteryx. Made two mistakes, the input data couldn't be copy and pasted directly into a text input tool, tried it a couple of times before giving up and saving down as .txt file.
Second mistake was only skimming the question and typing in my calculated Elf instead of the total calories as the input, so got locked out from putting the correct answer in for 60 seconds.
@kelsey_kincaid I like the refactoring so you don't need to split to two streams for part 1 and part 2 👍
Love seeing all the posts! Holy smokes. Most everyone came up with the same solution or very close to it. I had the same. Nice and easy to get started!

Day 1 challenge, starting slow and easy.
