Fun Challenge

Same general track as the previous ones, except that I took advantage of the spatial function Create Convex Hull within the Summarize tool.  This way there is no need to join back to the original list and then use a Poly-Build.  Using this method you do create more polygons up front, so it may take a hit  performance-wise.

Looks like others have done it more cleanly with a join, but here is my solution

My solution! SO excited to see who is up on stage for the Europe Grand Prix in a few weeks!!

I remember getting tripped up on this one, and I think it had something to do with how I tried to combine the spatial objects at the end to create the desired polygon... Went with the Transpose-to-Summarize method this time, and it seemed to work just fine to line up the original facility object with the matching facility objects in a way that allowed me to combine them smoothly.

Finished this one in 4 1/2 minutes - though it probably helps that I'd seen it and struggled with it once before :)
