@MichaelG ,

I actually think that the data modeling problem Conundrum 1 was actually harder to get good results for, than the Data Prep for Conundrum 5 which was fairly straight forward ETL.  What do others think?

Hey @tgb417 
I think on that level you are correct - my reasoning here was that while Conundrum 1 was harder to get *good* results for it was really quite easy to at least complete to some level. 
But of course open to feedback on if that is the right approach to picking challenge levels - and looking forward to seeing what your fellow CC maestra @anita-clmnt thinks 🙂

Hi @MichaelG and @tgb417 ,

I think I agree with Tom. Even if I didn't look at the difficulty level before working of those conundrums, for some reason I would have expected the level to reflect how easy it would be to get a 'decent' performance for the modeling exercises. It also takes more time in my opinion to build a model that works than to complete a data prep/viz exercise.

But I do like that the modeling exercises are not that easy, it brings some challenges! 🙂 

@anita-clmnt

I’d like to say here that I have enjoyed the back and forth we have done looking at conundrum #1 an #5.  The interactions have provided the ability to learn together. Thank you.  I also agree that easy is not the point.  I see value in the ability to solve a problem together with a common tool set and learning from each other as a value proposition.

Glad to hear you are relishing the challenge @anita-clmnt and it's been great to see your collaboration with @tgb417 on them!

Ok I am persuaded - I'll do a update of the challenge levels with both your points in mind.
