Answer key

Each question has one expected value, computed from the data and checked on ClickHouse 24.3 and DuckDB. Money is exact to the cent. Averages of money (AOV) are given to the cent and graded within ±0.01. Ratios are given to six decimals and graded within ±0.0001 absolute. Members are exact names. The SQL for every question is in questions.jsonl.

All data is as of 2026-06-30. Amounts are in USD.
