Hi!

Just learned about spatial tools so had to try out this one, really cool!

a bit late for the grand prix!

Got it! Not a speed exercise for me though.

Using spatial match to minimize loss.

Ready! It's when the excercise focuses more on analysis than on parsing. Thanks!

I had two issues that made solving this take a bit longer:

1) I wasn't getting the correct amount of people able to attend using the Find Nearest tool
         -To fix this, I needed to use the Trade Area and Spatial Match tools instead

2) I wasn't getting the correct Total Cost for Locations over capacity
         - When I calculated the Added Value, I multiplied by the amount of people able to go, and not the max capacity of the Location. This lead me to believe that there was a higher income for over capacity locations than there really was.

Very fun, and quick spatial exercise. Don't discount the power of the spatial tools! (I wrongly assumed that I would need to use a spatial tool for each location, when you only really need 1 or 2 for them all) Good luck!
