PSA: FiveThirtyEight are running the problem again [1], and this time have released the data from the previous battle so you can see the soldier distributions that everyone took last time [2]. Submissions are due this Friday.<p>[1]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fivethirtyeight.com&#x2F;features&#x2F;the-battle-for-riddler-nation-round-2&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fivethirtyeight.com&#x2F;features&#x2F;the-battle-for-riddler-n...</a><p>[2]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fivethirtyeight&#x2F;data&#x2F;tree&#x2F;master&#x2F;riddler-castles" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fivethirtyeight&#x2F;data&#x2F;tree&#x2F;master&#x2F;riddler-...</a>

This was a fun problem. I wish I spent a little more time on it. My solution and approach was pretty similar to the OP, code and write up here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mattdodge&#x2F;538-riddler-nation" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mattdodge&#x2F;538-riddler-nation</a><p>The biggest takeaway I think is that you don&#x27;t even need to beat the &quot;winning solution&quot;, you need to beat more of the general population than that solution does.

I wish I read The Riddler more regularly—this is a really interesting problem, and I&#x27;m sorry I missed the contest!
