It takes long time by my misunderstanding.

Brute force method. Tried researching approximation methods, but failed miserably.  Wish I could've solved with an iterative macro, but not sure I could've pulled it off. Results were close to posted, but different due to trial estimation.

Loved this challenge! Had to burn my brains to set up the order of iterations and macros.

The fun part it took 15 min to run the workflow. I guess due to the amount of nested iterations that Alteryx had to produce.
The answers were close, but some of them differ. Although the thresholds match perfectly.

Cheers,
