Loving Linear Programming and the optimization tool now that I know they exist. I managed to get a team that could solve 685 problems between them.

I used a value per player model and simply added them up until I reached $1.5M.  It's interesting that this method and the optimisation method that several others have used, generate the same team.

This was a fun one! I attempted to come up with a greedy approximation algorithm. Cheers!

Here was the batch macro I created to solve for each author. I then brought this back into my workflow and took the top record with the most challenges completed.
