A solution to last week's challenge can be found here.  

 

This challenge comes to us from @EW  - thank you for your contribution!

 

A group of friends can't decide on a movie theater at which to see a movie. Given the locations of their apartments and major movie theaters in the area, determine the top three movie theaters to minimize total distance traveled in one direction.  Create a map with the theater and home locations.

Wahoo, next challenge is 200!! Having fond memories today of approaching 100 and the anticipation (and getting stuck on Plinko with @NicoleJohnson ).

Practicing using the Formula tool instead of Spatial tools
