Heard everyone talking about location optimiser so I thought I would use this as a way to learn :)

- However I'm a bit confused as to why it breaks when you use all 5 nodes since I would expect the score to just be 0

I built a macro to use binary numbers to work out combinations.  It can be re-used for any task requiring the solution to the classic "pick k items from a list of n items".  Macro is up on the public gallery here... https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Public-Community-Gallery/Combinations/ta-p/1023099
