This is my test attempt at a case from the @MECC.college finals, Geography 101. This one is mostly about text manipulation.
This was a test version, and I didn't agree with all the answers... I'm not sure if either the answers or the question wording changed in the final version. (For level 3, the difference was that I counted each location as listed, but the answer was based on unique locations - so for example, there were three locations in Arizona, so I counted the letters in Arizona 3 times, but the solution only counted them once; for level 2, the difference was whether to count spaces or not.)
You can find this and other cases from the finals to download for free on the MECC website here (this case was part of 'morning finals round 1'):

If you sign up to take part, you also get access to a lot more past cases and the new ones as they come out (note you don't have to be a college student to sign up - you won't be eligible for prizes, but you can still get all the learning materials for free). You can sign up here:
