Problem 3: Case Study competition at IIMA

Each row in the range B2:D873 contains a team of 3 students that participates in a case study
competition at Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad. A student can be a member of
multiple teams and a team can submit multiple solutions. The score obtained by each
submission is given in column E.
