Microsoft Excel World Championship 2024 Session 2 has officially started! 🎉 💡The case is designed by Financial Modeling World Cup founder & CEO Andrew Grigolyunovich, CFA, and here’s what it’s about: ➖John Smith is a big fan of the Financial Modeling World Cup and Excel Esports tournaments. He took part in all our previous MEWC championships and all battles on the Road to Las Vegas series and needs your help to solve some of these cases. Help John by getting the right answers to each of the questions below. ➖The case is inspired by 5 of our previous cases: EVE Online, Vlookie the Gold Miner, Cricket Darts, Card Game, and Lana Banana! 💡Instructions ➖This year the competition in the Qualifying Round of the Microsoft Excel World Championship is expected to be tough! While lots of strong players have already qualified through other qualification routes (FMWC regular season or Road to Las Vegas battles), we still have over 60 spots to award. ➖Each Excel Esports player has his/her own strengths. Some cases might suit certain players more than others. Just like in the previous years, we have created a series of 5 mini-cases/sections that would suit every person's strengths. These sections are not connected with each other and are inspired by our previous competitions. The previous cases have been changed substantially so it is not possible to get points using previous solutions. ➖Remember, you have to score more points than your competitors in your region (Africa, Asia/Pacific, Europe, North America and South America). Carefully select the sections you want to solve. If you get stuck, just move to another section. Sometimes it might make sense to manually solve a few questions in the section just to get some points. Sometimes you might get stuck on a section, but still get bonus points for the bonus question that relates to that section. ➖Some of the sections are easier than others. The harder the section (to the opinion of the case author), the more points you can earn from it. The total number of points available is 10,000. You have 1 hour to score as many points as you can. We also encourage you to finish earlier if you feel you can't score any more points - in case of a draw/tie the amount of time spent will determine the winners.

Good luck to all the participants! 💪🏼 The event is sponsored by Microsoft, Order.co, Sigma Computing, Oehm Automation, Vertex42 LLC, and Financial Modeling Institute (FMI)! 🙌🏼 #excelesports #mewc
